Charles Dickens, Marshalsea Prison, and John Dickens brown plaque

London, England, United Kingdom

Beyond this old wall is the site of Marshalsea Prison, closed in 1842. This sign is attached to a remnant of the prison wall. Charles Dickens, whose father had been imprisoned here for debt in 1824, used that experience as the Marshalsea setting for his novel Little Dorrit. — St George's Churchyard
