Erection date: 23/9/1970

Inscription

Toynbee Housing Society
Evershed House Community - Opened on September 23rd 1970 by the Prime Minister, the Rt Hon Edward Heath, MBE, MP.
This stone comes from the bombed ruins of Toynbee Hall.

Site: Toynbee Hall (1 memorial)

E1, Old Castle Street, Evershed House

As far as we can tell this never was the site of Toynbee Hall which appears always to have been sited at 28 Commercial Street, as it still is.

Opposite this plaque the old 1846 Wash Houses have appropriately been recreated as the Women's Library.
