Plaque, Anderson's Hostel, Cricklade Street, Swindon
The plaque is to be found on the western elevation of a small row of dwellings now rather more prosaically addressed as 27-30 Cricklade Street. The term 'second poor' apparently refers to folk who were parishioners and who were not receiving relief from the parish. http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/Bristol_and_Somerset/2003-05/1052087753 The building to which the plaque is attached is shown here http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1113394

Christ Church and the hostel
Christ Church was built in 1851 to the designs of Sir George Gilbert Scott and embellished in Midlands Decorated style. It replaced an older and by then inadequate Holy Rood church; local landowner Ambrose Goddard donated this piece of hillside land to meet the needs of a growing Swindon population.
The hostel on the right of shot was founded by a Mr Anderson for the poor in 1877.

Church Road is closed
The barriers look fairly temporary but the double yellow lines imply a more permanent solution.
