Housing issues for the poor

This article could do with reference to the housing issues of the poor that the city suffered. — billinghurst sDrewth 10:13, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Amazed …

.. that an article about what was the most important, wealthy and populous city in the world, where many aspects of the 20th century world were pioneered, omits huge areas of civic life:

infrastructure: roads, canals, tramways, street lighting, docks, bridges, tunnels
energy: coal, gas, electricity
food and drink: brewing, distilling, food processing
health: hospitals
education & training: schools, colleges, universities
welfare: social housing, workhouses, charities
culture: museums, art galleries, concert halls, libraries
science: research (for example in biology and physics)
justice: courts, prisons
communications: post, telegraph, telephone
media: newspapers, magazines, books
transport: shipping
finance: banking, insurance
tourism: hotels, restaurants
entertainment: theatres, music halls, pubs
defence: Army technical branches centred on Woolwich
sport: cricket, football, tennis
employment: shops, offices, workshops, factories

Poverty - St. Giles Rookery

The top area of the following image shows the streets of the St. Giles Rookery before it was pulled down, when New Oxford Street replaced the narrower extension of Oxford Street, and Crown Street was replaced by Charing Cross Road. https://london1850.com/images/cross11b.jpg The following link shows a map of the same area in 1890 https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=19&lat=51.51558&lon=-0.12907&layers=117746212&b=7

I mention this as the article (citing Beames) mentions both George Street and Church St. – both of which which only existed prior to the demolition. (George Street appears to have been renamed to Dyott Street, while Church St. seems to have been absorbed by the widening of Oxford Street).

On the latter map one can see New Street where the London Beer Flood killed eight people.

UPDATE: Definitive Source for the renaming of George Street to Dyott Street can be found on the Insurance Plan of London Vol. VIII: sheet 198 (1888) cf. https://cloud.maptiler.com/data/new/edit?basemap=https://maps.georeferencer.com/georeferences/f0d21896-7aeb-59e6-9711-1455d1893774/2019-10-01T08:40:08.006175Z/map.json?key=4HG0mpU1uJywEuwuxdss This is marked "Dyott St. (Late George St.)"
