Margaret Byers blue plaque — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Margaret Byers founded Victoria College at this Crescent address in 1874, shaping a century of learning before the building became an arts centre. She lived from 1832 to 1912 and carried a doctorate, suggesting a mind sharp enough to resist being diminished by the era. The plaque still marks the wall where students once walked, keeping her name attached to the room rather than buried under change.
