Why is this unassuming blue plaque so close to the River Thames, you might wonder? This is the site of the original Dyers’ Hall. The Worshipful Company of Dyers, established in 1471, called this spot home. Their first hall, dating back to 1545, stood proudly here until the Great Fire of London swept through in 1666, reducing it to ashes. It was rebuilt, only to succumb to another fire in 1681. Imagine the dismay of the Dyers’ Company, facing such devastating losses. This plaque marks a place etched with history, resilience, and the enduring spirit of London’s vibrant guilds.
