As you can imagine this caused great curiosity among the poor about how the wealthy people lived. Upper Class SlummingĪs I’ve stated before the differences between the rich and the poor classes were vast. The conscientious sector of society such as journalist, ministers and moral reformers debated accurately that the slums were brought on by a rapid growth in population and the explosion of industrialism during that time. As the overcrowding and conditions of the slums worsened it was harder to ignore. It was the general opinion of many of the wealthy Victorian families that the slums were brought on because of laziness, sin and lack of principle and self-discipline among the people who lived there. The different slums were given names such as Whitechapel, Spitalfields, Bethnal Green and Old Nichol. The upper crust of society referred to the east side as the “darkest London”. East London had the most well-known slums of that time. The squalid and unsanitary conditions that were brought on by immense overcrowding made life very dismal for poor Victorian children and their families. The rendering to the left is an artists first hand impression of what a Victorian slum looked like. Sewage ran down the street since there was no underground sewage pipes. Public outhouses were used by everyone that lived within the block. There was no plumbing or bathrooms much less flushing toilets.
They were built very cheaply with little consideration for safety and attractiveness. These apartment buildings were not like the attractive apartments we have today. They would be in buildings that were very close to or connected to another set of apartments. These apartments could be found in the very “ran down” part of town. Sometimes two or more families would share an apartment. Most poor families lived in small apartments. The poor did not live in houses since property was next to impossible to acquire and the rich were the only ones who could afford to buy it. It is hard to adequately put into words how bad the conditions were for poor Victorian children. The poor Victorian Children lived in much smaller accommodations than the rich children did.
