{Around the edge:}
The hidden River Fleet flows nearby.
{In the centre:}
East of here the River Fleet follows St Pancras Road. In 1809 the River flooded the area from St Pancras to Pentonville including Somers Town. Rising in Hampstead the Fleet passes underground this way to the River Thames.
Site: Richard Everitt and the Fleet River floods (3 memorials)
NW1, Purchese Street, Purchese Street Open Space
This open space was reduced in size in 2020-22 to allow the construction of a building on the Purchese Street/Brill Place corner. The remaining space was re-landscaped and reopened in 2024 as Purchese Street Open Space.
In the background of our photo you can see the Everitt memorial, with the red wreath leaning against the plaque and the circular bench in front, with the steel-like plaque attached to one of the backs. The CNJ reported on the unveiling.
