E9, White Post Lane

Matt at Londonist found this plaque in 2014. We've hunted and failed to find it, so believe it lost. His notes say the plaque was in White Post Lane, whereas our researches say it should have been erected at the nearby site of Atlas Wharf, 57 Berkshire Road for reasons explained at Atlas Dyeworks.
