One would expect to find a building like this in Oxford or Cambridge, but not in Edmonton! However this is the former Charles Lamb Institute founded in 1908 to commemorate the writer, who lived in Church Street from about 1828 until his death here in 1834. The building is now used by the Tower Gym. The memorial stone records the architect as J[ohn]S[amuel] Alder.
