Piccadilly Porter's Rest
A replica porter's rest at the western end of Piccadilly (south side near the bus stops), London. This replica was installed in 2016 after the original went 'missing'.
The plaque on the side reads: "At the suggestion of R A Slaney Esq who for 20 years represented Shrewsbury in Parliament, this porters rest was erected in 1861 by the Vestry of St George Hanover Square for the benefit of porters and others carrying burdens. As a relic of a past period in London’s history, it is hoped that the people will aid its preservation."
