Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Black Plaques are not to be found proudly mounted on a wall - and
for good reason. What with their commemoration of a brutal
execution outside Westminster Abbey, the selling of sex toys in St
James's Park and an intruder at Buckingham Palace with Royal
undergarments stuffed down his trousers, this is not sort of
historical subject matter that authorities choose to grace a
building's facade or depict on a visitor information board. In
fact, many might hope that such indecorous and inconvenient
episodes remain quietly overlooked. But this book jogs such artful
lapses of memory and at more than one hundred locations across
London, Black Plaques lift the carefully placed rug to discover an
unsightly, but strangely beckoning, stain.
