This bronze commemorative plaque records: Aldwark. Meaning Old Fortification - probably Roman. Nearby was the site of St. Helen-on-the-Walls, demolished c. 1550. The adjacent residential development was carried out by Shepherd Homes Limited in 1980. It was the first major implementation of the recommendation in the Report of Lord Esher (1968) that a return to living within the city walls should be encouraged. Recorded plaque organisation: York Civic Trust.
