Ira Aldridge Unveiled

Agent N unveils Ira Aldridge Plaque

 5 Hamlet Road, Upper Norwood, London SE19 2AP

I remembered when we went to the unveiling of the Ira Aldridge plaque. As I recall it was quite a chilly day, though not rainy, it certainly did not feel comfortable to stand around too long. After a short time a small crowd of invitees had gathered to observe another little piece of history in Upper Norwood, South East London. After the unveiling and a short walk later we toasted and munched to the great man.

Ignatius Sancho Unveiled

King Charles St, London SW1A 2AN

I remember going to the unveiling of the Ignatius Sancho plaque one winter evening. What's interesting was that the plaque must have been re-inked after the unveiling as it appeared much lighter in colour. The cold evening was brought to a close with a gathering in the FCO offices, a fine backdrop to the proceedings.
