Wrong spelling and poor layout "Waterman's Square" Street Nameplate, Penge. Should read "Watermen's Square" after the listed building for the historic home for Thames Watermen. In redoing it, please use the layout of the plate opposite, ie one word above the other. I suggest having such a long name on top of the narrowly spaced uprights looks ungainly in the Conservation Area.

    Please come back and do this properly. The replacement long sign looks ridiculous sticking out asymmetrically on the left, different to the shorter sign opposite and easily prone to damage. I requested the replacement be the same as the other sign, with the name on two lines one above the other. See photo. Please also put the apostrophe in the replacement. The Watermen's Alms Houses are Listed Buildings and this is a Conservation Area. Please do this properly. If this is a contractor mistake please do not further charge Bromley Council. Thank you.
