This plaque seen from Highbury Corner is on what is now the northern end of Compton Terrace. Compton Terrace was completed in 1831. In 1944 a V1 destroyed or badly damaged 12 of the 19 houses north of the Union Chapel and in the 1960s Highbury Roundabout was built over the area devastated by the bomb. This plaque commemorates that event.
