Lovely evening talking with the #Docklands History Group about Watts Memorial; thanks for the invite and the attentive and appreciative audience. #gigging

neil crossfield What a coincidence! This is one of the 'Forgotten Heroes of Postman's Park' who I'm researching at the moment; people who were listed to featured on the Watts Memorial but who got forgotten.

We are currently experiencing some issues with our website, partly due to the volume of traffic we are experiencing. Please bear with us, we're doing our best to get things sorted!

We support the decision by stakeholders not to add further tablets to the Watts Memorial. We do, however, strongly support the idea to make Postman's Park, as a whole, a commemorative garden dedicated to civilian heroism and will put our full weight behind that plan.

We have now rectified the issues with our website. We're pleased to say everything works again now! Thank you for your patience.

What a treat we have for you: John Price has joined Placecloud with a series of #viewpoints telling true stories of extraordinary heroism in London in the 19th and 20th centuries. Check out his map here: placecloud.io/author/johnpri… #twitterstorians

First up, the heartbreaking story (15m) of Alice Ayres who lost her life saving young members of her family during a fire in Southwark in the spring of 1885. Alice's story became famous and remains a keystone of 'everyday heroism': placecloud.io/viewpoint/the-… John Price
