Plaque

John Romer

Inscription

John Romer, 1947 - 2015, architect and structural engineer, prevented this listed and listing wall from falling into the canal in 2012.
Cullinan Studio

In our photo you can see, at first floor level, a row of wall tie plates.  This blue plaque has every appearance of being one of those, coloured blue. A neat visual joke, as good as the verbal pun in the inscription.
