1900 was when Postman's Park became the location for George Frederic Watts's Memorial to Heroic Self-Sacrifice, a memorial to ordinary people who died while saving the lives of others and who might otherwise be forgotten.
This takes the form of a loggia and long wall housing ceramic memorial tablets.
The Heroic act by Mills,Rutter,Durrant & Jones took place 125 years ago today & is a good reminder of all the people who are making sacrifices at present.
