Plaque

Designed by architects Gunton and Gunton and opened in 1923. These alsmhouses consist of a row of six cottages with a pair of semi-detached houses at each end, providing homes for 10 disabled married ex-servicemen and their families.

These almshouses are mentioned on the St Johns Hackney war memorial. 

Each house has a large brass plaque proudly naming it. Reading from south to north: Hackney Tradesmen's Cottage, H&SN Chamber of Commerce Cottage, Clarnico Cottage, Tom & May Patchett Cottage, Liverpool Victoria Cottage, Courage Cottage, Sacrifice Cottage, Peace Cottage, Gilbert Cottage, Empress Cottage. Such a variety.  Possibly some are named for donors. 

On the day we visited the garden was looking rather sorry for itself, as was the flag.  

The Wilson plaque is on the road-facing elevation of Hackney Tradesmen's Cottage.

The Platinum plaque is laid into the south-east quadrant lawn of the central garden.
