Site: Wright and Docking (1 memorial)

EC3, Lower Thames Street

Our colleague, Alan Patient, found some details at the Bromley Newshopper, which reports that the two men were window cleaners, working “on the ninth floor of a Midland Bank building in Lower Thames Street, City of London. Something gave way and the cradle, complete with supporting structure, came crashing down onto a Transit van parked below. Both men are believed to have died of multiple injuries.”
