Angel Place is an alley that leads from Borough High Street to Tennis Street, passing St George's Churchyard Gardens.
The wall that separates the gardens from the alley is all that remains of the south wall of Marshalsea Prison, a notorious debtor's prison that stood, in one state or another, on this site.
Brief History
The first Marshalsea Prison, 1373-1811, was located at what is now 161 Borough High Street and housed men accused of crimes at sea, political prisoners and debtors.
