Brackley is a market town in West Northamptonshire and a parish for the local government, close to Oxford. Johnson recalls in "Inglan is a Bitch" that "dem have a lickle factri up inna Brackly" (LIne 43). Johnson had worked in a factory there for 15 years until he was laid off, and implied that he had no worth in the company despite the 15 years of labor, not that he was paid well regardless. The song was released in 1980, and fifty years prior in 1930, Brackely had just demolished its Poor Law Union.

The Great Hall was built by William II between 1097-1099 in an attempt to impress his subjects. It originally housed both chambers of parilament (commons and lords) and personal rooms for the royals, but in the 1500's the royals moved into a new palace. The hall or palace (Westminster Palace) was gutted and redesigned multiple times, with the new palace being built between 1840 and 1870, with only the Great Hall remaining from the original building. A fire destroyed most of the original palace in 1834 which is why it was rebuilt.

The Essex marshes are salt marshes that are located all down the coast of Essex. There are several marinas located in the marshes, but for the most part, they are fairly unpopulated mud flats at low tide popular only with bird watchers. The rector of East Mersea in 1880 wrote "A more desolate region can scarce be conceived and yet it is not without beauty". In Bleak House, Dickens includes the marshes in the list of places that fog is hanging over: "Fog on the Essex marshes, fog on the Kentish heights..."

The location in the title, Tintern Abbey, lies in the Wye Valley on the west bank of the River Wye.

St James's Park is a 57 acre park in the City of Westminster. It is part of a continuous chain of parks that is near Buckingham Palace, which is to the west of St James's Park. It also has a small little lake in the center of it, containing two islands. It originally was closed to the public, at one point being grazing ground for cattle. A couple centuries later, the ground was opened to the public when the Buckingham House was expanded to create the palace. (wiki)
