Comments:
The last owners of the Howgate Hotel confirm that the plaque was given to Whitehaven Museum when the hotel was bought by Premier Inn, and it is not in the hotel now. Since then the museum has moved twice, and it is now uncatalogued. There were centenary exhibitions in 2014 and 2018 and the plaque did not appear for those, so it would seem to be lost. There are no museum staff still alive from when it was acquired. Every avenue of enquiry has been exhausted over many years.
