Thomas Miller in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire

On the wall of 58 Bridge Street, Gainsborough, a small plaque:

'THOMAS MILLER
Author & Poet
Was born opposite this site in
Sailors Alley Yard
31st August 1807
Plaque erected by The Delvers'

 

I've published this shot before of the monument to Miller on the Nottingham Castle colonnade, but it's well worth showing again:

 

'THOMAS MILLER

NOVELIST - POET

BORN 1808 DIED 1874'

 

(Most sources normally give Miller's date of birth as 1807.)
