Question

Describe two features of housing in whitechapel between 1870 and 1900?

Answer 1

1. The conditions were cramped and overcrowded, for example an 1871 census revealed that there were 902 lodgers staying in 31 of the 'doss houses'.
2. The houses were in terrible condition, for example, although there were outside toilets, buckets and pots were used inside and often spilled.
