The plaque commemorates the location where a sedan chair for hire once used to stand. It was created in the 1930s by HA Miller. The bronze plate > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6448670 depicts two men in late 18th century dress holding the shafts of a sedan chair. Sedan chairs as a means of transport were replaced by Hackney Carriages in the early 19th century. For a wider view of this location see > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5876242.
