2017: Steve Roffey wrote to say that this plaque was lost in 2017. Checking on Google Street View, it had not returned by April 2019. We've marked it as 'lost' but hope and expect that it will return.

September 2024: English Heritage inform: "The crescent was rebuilt in facsimile after war damage in 1960 and a new plaque was commissioned; however, the original rectangular bronze tablet turned up after an appeal in The Lancet, and was re-erected in 1966, where it remained for 51 years. Sadly, the disappearance of this plaque for a second time – after building work in 2017 – appears to be permanent."

The Guardian have a photo of this plaque being unveiled in 1966.
