Inscription in Angel Place (2)

One of five plaques along the alleyway. This one, presumably a quotation from Dickens' novel Little Dorrit set in the prison that stood here, reads "there was not one straight floor from the foundation to the roof; the ceilings were so fantastically clouded by smoke and dust that old women might have told fortunes in them better than in grouts of tea".
