Community EngagementMemorial Plaque
A plaque was erected in memory of former Royal Engineer John Frost in the mechanical plant room. John would often walk from his home on the nearby Newcourt estate to photograph the project as it took shape. Such was John's interest in the build that his family even arranged for an IKEA sticker to be placed on his coffin at his funeral.
