What is recorded here

This blue commemorative plaque records: Founded in 1873 Robert Cresser's Brush Shop occupied No. 40 for 131 years. Harry Potter fans believe this magical street gave J. K. Rowling the vision for Diagon Alley. With original Victorian fixtures full of dusty boxes and broomsticks - was this little shop the inspiration for Ollivanders
