The Croydon Guardian tells about this building being home to the 144-year old family furniture business House of Reeves. Both these plaques were on the building before it was burnt down in the riots of the Summer 2011.
The Surrey Iron Railway plaque was found in the rubble and it was re-erected in October 2011. The Hand Cross plaque was not found and is presumed lost.
