Firemark, St Owen St
This is on the same building as SO5139 : Parish marks, St Owen St. The mark of the Sun Fire Office, established 1710. The policy number looks like 74234. Were policy holders not obliged to hand these in when their policy lapsed?
SO5039 : Hereford Cathedral Sadly however the many reincarnations of this west front over the years has left us now with this incongruous neo-Gothic facade dating from 1902-08AD.
