Originally posted to Guess Where London group. Tokens in the pavement are reproductions (made by John Aldus) of items left by poor mothers with their babies when they were put into care in the Foundling Hospital. The mothers hoped that the tokens would enable them to identify their children, should their circumstances change and they be able to claim them again. Few were ever able. See where this picture was taken. [?]
