The Commemorative plaque was originally installed in the former public Library at the corner of Cumberland Place/ London Road. No idea what happened to it?. In Southampton Plaques have been installed to identify Jane Austen’s ‘Trail’, commemorating her period in our place. There are Nine locations- The Bargate-Trail starts; All Saints Church site-High Street; The Spa Gardens site, Arundell Circus; Jane Austen’s house site- Castle Square; ‘Long Rooms/Baths site- Western Esplanade; Theatre Royal site-French Street; The Water Gate-Town Quay; The Platform (Beach)- Town Quay; The Dolphin Hotel-High Street.
