Steve Hudson

Inscription

{Above the Dartford Council coat of arms:}
Steve Hudson, pioneering engineer and inventor of Dartford's First Remembered site, lodged at this hotel on 29 Sept. 2013.
Dartford Borough Council

At first we thought this was a guerrilla (unauthorised) plaque but then, at NewsShopper, we found "Council leader Councillor Jeremy Kite said: “It was a terrific day. We owe a huge amount to Steve Hudson who started the Dartford Remembered Facebook group and I think everyone had a great time."
