A Heritage Foundation plaque in honour of Wendy Richards, who memorably portrayed Albert Square’s battle-hardened harridan Pauline Fowler for years, has been unveiled. What with the frequent delays on the District line to Walford East, the plaque was instead mounted in a more accessible location: the Shepherds Tavern in Mayfair, where she lived as a child. It was unveiled by David Croft, creator of Are You Being Served — the show in which Wendy got her big break — and a gaggle of ‘Enders stars past and present turned out to pay tribute to the actress, who died from cancer earlier this year.
