I took this picture of the memorial to 25 year old Police Constable Nina Mackay. She had been murdered in 1997 at this address while trying to arrest a mentally ill man. I can still remember the shock that I felt at the time on learning about her death.
This is a quiet and normally peaceful back street area and it is very sobering to come across such memorials to a public servant who died in the course of her duties while trying to protect the public.
Tomorrow is also Workers Memorial Day.

Where exactly is this memoral on arthingworth street? Been trying to locate it?
Hi anon
I drove past tonight on way to Council Surgery nearby and it is in front green area of 21-27 Arthingworth Street, E15. On left hand side of road walking towards the tower blocks.
It is easy to miss.
