A view down Little London, Swindon
Little London is now an unremarkable little backstreet just east of Albert Street Image but in its day the Albert Street/Little London area was a red light district and the haunt of the 'lowest labourers' where it was said that 'almost any vice might be witnessed or indulged in'. Source: 'Swindon. An Illustrated History' Mark Child, Breedon Books, 2002. The tall chimney in the background marks the location of BMW's MINI panel plant at SU167863, 2.77 kilometres north.

View north from Christ Church belfry, Cricklade Street, Swindon (2)
This telephoto image was taken on a day when the church Image was holding a fete in the grounds and the belfry was open. The white building in the left centre was Wickes DIY store at SU158855. Wickes have recently opened a new store on another site north of this location and this one is now vacant. The building below the left skyline is Kingsdown School at SU168881. The pylon on the horizon is probably at SU167888.

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
