One account describes street sweeping as "one of those occupations resorted to as an excuse for begging" and it was punished with imprisonment (Mayhew 465).

Trafalgar Square, located in the center of the city, features Nelson's Column in the center. Four lions surround Nelson's Column. Early construction of the square began in 1840, and Nelson's Column was completed in 1867. ]]>
