Site: Bowler plaque - Violin and Bow (1 memorial)
E1, Princelet Street, 8
The plaque is the one nearest the camera.
From Jewish East End: "A leaflet published by Tower Hamlets council says this commemorates London’s first Yiddish theatre. The theatre had been located at number 3 Princes Street and I suspect the Council's description is wrong and that it actually commemorates the life of the World famous viola player Lionel Tertis who lived at number 8."
Number 3 is the second house from the west on the north side of the street. The plaque is on the south side just a few metres further to the east, outside the door to number 8, a large 20th century building, all of which supports Jewish East End's theory. We have treated the plaque as if it commemorated both the theatre and Tertis.
