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.

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
