A historic marker inset into the concrete entry into Cheshire court re-creates the first front page of The Standard newspaper published on 21 May 1827. The paper, which is still published today as the London Evening Standard, has been a force to be reckoned with for 189 years (as of 2016) and counting.
The marker reads as follows:
"CHESHIRE COURT
THE STANDARD
Monday May 21, 1827
Monday, 21st May 1827, The Standard Newspaper was first printed at 5 New Bridge Street, Blackfriars."
