- Housing
- People who built houses only cared about making money and not about the people who lived in them.
- People were forced to live in cellars and attics.
- No ventilation, meaning smells.
- Very small houses and very cramped.
- Sanitation
- Many houses built had no sewerage system.
- Streets used communal privies (toilets)
- The waste from these would go into a cesspit and many landlord would not pay for the cesspits to be emptied until they were overflowing
- Human waste filtered through into the water supply that the people drank from.
- Human waste was put into rivers and streams
- Drinking water was poor and often contaminated.
- Water Supply
- Water was only found in communal taps.
- Communal taps were used by hundreds of people in one area.
- If one communal tap was contaminated, then lots of people would get very sick
- Not many taps around the place.
- Lack of Services
- Conditions for Workers were downright dangerous
- So many risks
- No council to collect the rubbish.
- Rubbish piled up and disease quickly developed.
- Disease spread among the crowded and filthy streets of towns and cities.
