The location is not given Parley says: In public houses, and pot houses by the way side, at times, there are strange ditties to be heard. Having occasion to call on the landlord of a house of this description, I could see, through the glass door of the little parlour where I sat, a group of country people sitting with their mugs before them.
I assume since the location, given earlier in the book, is Redhill Grange, a small private housing area of just under 400 homes, located approximately a mile and a half north of the center of Wellingborough, the county of Northamptonshire.
