Sam Thompson blue plaque — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Sam Thompson wrote the play Over The Bridge in 1960 and died in 1965, yet the blue plaque still points beside this house in Ballymacarrett. He was born at 2 Montrose Street, a doorway now lost beneath memory and pavement. The plaque does not celebrate a palace or a war; it preserves a writer who turned a small Northern life into a story others could still hear.
