The Victorian Slum Series 1

Michael Mosley follows the progress of a group of people experiencing the tough living and working conditions of the Victorian poor after moving into a restored Victorian tenement in the heart of London's East End.

Part 2 1870s

The volunteers experience the living and working conditions of the 1870s, which was blighted by a dire economic depression. The Potters can no longer rely on breadwinner Graham as he struggles to find work so they join forces with single parent Shazeda to try to survive by making artificial flowers, while there are new arrivals from Ireland in the form of siblings John and Maria Barker, who are horrified by the conditions that would have greeted Irish migrants to Victorian London.
