This Civic Society blue plaque commemorates the fact that Edwin (later Sir Edwin) Cooper the Architect was born in a modest house in this street. His full name was Thomas Edwin Cooper. He initially trained in Scarborough but his main practice was in London where he is said to have designed more buildings than Christopher Wren. The Port of London building is probably his most famous.
