Big up Frank Soo!

Amazing to see Frank remembered in this way. The blue plaque is on the original laundrette building he was born in on 8th March 1914. Many people from the Chinese communities were in the laundry business in the early 20th century and it shows how from humble beginnings Frank went on to battle adversity and become a England player.

Thank you to all those involved at @HistoricEngland , Friends of Buxton Station and @HighPeakBC .
