  13. Pick 3 quotes that you think highlight the WORST conditions in the city

  14. Source A: A sketch of Silvester Court, Liverpool, 1843.

  15. A cross-section of back-to-back houses, Emily Place, Liverpool. Source B ‘In Emily Place there are two rows of houses with a street 15 feet wide between them. The houses are built back-to-back. Each room in the house is about 3 feet wide and 5 feet long.’

  16. Source C ‘We saw drains and sewers emptying into a stream. Also in this stream had been thrown dead dogs and cats and other offensive articles. Downstream women filled buckets to use as drinking water, for cooking, washing and cleaning their clothes’ Source D ‘Few back streets are paved at all. Dungheaps are found in several parts of the streets, and sewage is seen running down the gutter in the middle of the street.’ Source E ‘The homes of 3000 families were visited. In 773 of them the families slept 3 and 4 to a bed, in 209 families 4 and 5 slept in a bed and in 15 families 6 and 7 slept in a bed. In one cellar we found a mother and her two grown up daughters sleeping on a bed of straw in one corner and 3 sailors slept in the other corner’

  17. Source F A sketch of the interior of a house in Chorley Court, Liverpool. G ‘There is one outside privy (toilet) for a whole street. Filth builds up at the back of the privy and is often not removed for up to 6 months. Men from the council are sent round with a horse and cart and a couple of shovels to remove it.’ H ‘There are 39,000 people living in 7860 cellars which were dark, damp, dirty and unventilated. In one cellar there was a large hole in the floor. This hole was above a sewer. The mother who lived there feared for her baby as rats came up in the night, sometimes up to 20 at a time.’
