Fire Insurance Mark at 9 East Street

Highlight • Other

Number 9 East St (now a greengrocer) has a fire insurance mark on the front of the building. These were placed at a height that was easy to see, but out of the reach of thieves. This was issued by the Royal Insurance Company which was founded in 1845. Early insurance companies also had fire departments that would put out fires in buildings insured with that company.
