[edit] Plaque

I've removed the reference to the plaque for now, because: firstly the edit summary said that the editor "remembered seeing it there" – this is original research and not an acceptable proof for Wikipedia. But this would normally be irrelevant because the editor added a reference. However, that reference is from a website which is quite old, which in turn refers to an (excellent) book which is 16 years old. But here's the real problem; though there's adequate evidence the fact was once correct, I don't think it is still true. The Aquarium "sun terrace" described is long gone. The plaque would probably be hidden even if it's still there. We need to check this visually, (i.e. recently, not from memory). I know that ironically I'm suggesting more original research, but I think in this case it's really just verification. – Kieran T (talk | contribs) 22:05, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

I think this could be put to rest is someone in the area was able to take a picture and upload it to the article. :) --Paul E. Ester 13:20, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
