The Tokens of Marchmont Parade

Imbedded in the pavement by the Brunswick Centre, these haunting metal votives represent the tokens poor mothers left with their children when reluctantly leaving them at The Foundling Hospital.

Bridget told me about Thomas Corum's Hospital the other day but I hadn't made the connection before now.

Locals seem to be very fond of this artwork by John Aldus as a few people came up to talk to me as I was photographing them,
