Goldsmith’s Fair gives me an annual opportunity to explore unseen bits of the City.
This year, I walked through Postmen’s Park which idiotically I knew about, but had never seen: G.F. Watts’s idea of commemorating the unsung heroes and heroines who lose their lives in saving the lives of others.
It’s just next door to Little Britain, itself a good Victorian streetscape:-
I found the memorials both charming and moving, the unseen.
It should surely be kept up-to-date:-

We always go here to eat a lunchtime sandwich if we are in the area. It’s a wonderful comforting space & very humane idea & it always surprises me that it came from Watts who never struck me as the most altruistic or caring of artists.
Yes, I thought it surprising that the idea came from Watts. Quite charming. Charles
