The English Heritage Trust is a charity that cares for over 400 historical buildings, monuments and other places.

The sign is on the wall of the house where the physicist Patrick Blackett (1897-1974) lived. Blackett won the Nobel Prize in Physics (1948) for his research on Cloud chambers. In addition, he was among the scientists who developed the field of Operations research, as well as as a political advisor to the Indian government at the time when it received its independence.

In the same house (although in different years) also lived the playwright and writer Samuel Beckett Click for sign's details
