Spa Fields
Image: © Trevor Harris Taken: 19 Sep 2015
A park to the south east of Exmouth Market. It is famous for the Spa Fields Riots of 1816, and as the site of an Owenite community in the 1820's. The part of the park seen here was the site of a disreputable burial ground where bodies and coffins were burned nightly to make way for new inmates! The charnel house was sited in the position the park building seen here.
