In 2018, I was part of a little project to document surviving streetname plates for London's defunct N.E. postal district.

My partner in crime for that initiative was Nick Perry, who passed away suddenly last month. I have updated the above page on my website to formally dedicate the whole intiative to Nick in light of his incredible contribution.
RIP Nick
