Image: © Derek Harper Taken: 7 Jan 2009

The plaque, dating from 1897 and now placed on the wall of an alcove on the side of Image, originally graced the lamented Bedford Circus, pulled down after being damaged in the war, and records its previous history. As the plaque explains, Bedford House was the birthplace in 1644 of Henrietta Anne Stuart, daughter of Charles I. The location's history is more fully documented at http://www.exetermemories.co.uk/EM/bedfordhouse.html .
