The Victorian Slum Series 1

Part 1 1860s

In the opening edition the slum dwellers move into their new home, a building made up of sparse rooms, a shared water pump and outdoor privy toilets, while one finds out first-hand the back breaking labour his forebears would have experienced and the effect on a Victorian family when the main breadwinner was out of action.
