Stephen Maynard - steel plaque

Erection date: 26/1/2010

Inscription

In memory of Leading Fireman Stephen Maynard, who tragically lost his life fighting a fire aboard the M. V. Rudi M, berthed in Limehouse Basin on 25 January 1980.
London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority
London Fire Brigade

Plaque erected on the 30th anniversary.

Site: Stephen Maynard, fireman + Limehouse basin model (3 memorials)

E14, Limehouse Dock quayside, Harbour Masters Office

This Harbour Masters Office has a rather nice 6-sided pagoda-like from. The model of the basin is on the mini-me brick pedestal. It doesn't have a roof - that is just an unfortunate photographic alignment of a porch on the other side of the water.

Surrey Commercial Docks has a similar model.
