Plaque

Wall - 1817

Inscription

This wall was erected and the piles fixed Anno Domini 1817.
William Smith - Warden. 

Site: Thames flood level markers (3 memorials)

SE10, High Bridge Wharf, Trinity Hospital

Reading left to right these plaques are: Tide - 1874, Wall - 1817, Tide - 1928. We think the organisation for which the Wardens worked is probably Trinity House. The BBC has a good page about London floodings.
