Was in Borough the other night and saw this:
I stole all the words at the bottom of the post - I'm lazy but at least I'm honest.
On Redcross Way, a tranquil back-street running parallel to Borough High Street, there's a plot of land surrounded by London Underground hoardings. There's a big rusty iron gate adorned with ivy, ribbons, flowers, feathers, jewellery and other curious totems – and with a bronze plaque bearing the epitaph: 'R.I.P. The Outcast Dead'. Women who worked as prostitutes and were therefore not allowed to be buried in regular graveyards ended up here after they had died.
