Stewart Parker blue plaque — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Stewart Parker, the playwright who exposed the bloody absurdity of partition, drew his first breath in this Sydenham house in 1941. The blue plaque on the wall marks the exact doorway where that dangerous mind entered the world. Parker wrote until his thoughts became knives, cutting through the pretence that both sides loved each other while feeding machines of death. He died young in 1988, but the house remains the birthplace of a voice that refused to look away.
