Plaque #14

Hot on the heels of Spitfire Makers plaque #13 was the unveiling of plaque #14! 


This plaque was unveiled at Deepdene House, where the Wages and Accounts department moved to after the Supermarine factories at Woolston were bombed in September 1940.

Alan provided us with his usual fount of local history, connecting Supermarine to Deepdene House.



Unveiling was fittingly done by a former resident of Deepdene House and someone from the Bitterne Local History Society.



So, here it is: plaque #14 ...


... at Deepdene House!



There was even canine interest in the unveiling (meet Bear!)
