What is recorded here

This green commemorative plaque records: Below can be seen the original barred window (since bricked up) where wretched prisoners waited for the emerald coach to take them to the ancient port of Poole to be deported to the Australian continent.
Australian transportee convicts were British criminals exiled to Australia between the late 18th and early 19th centuries, playing a significant role in the colonization and development of the region.
