Journey to Victorian Newcastle (Dreadful Slums and Horrible Work in North East England)

The slums of Victorian Newcastle were a harbour for human misery. Hidden amongst the smoke stacks of factory chimneys were not just families living in terrible poverty in the city's slums, but people suffering from the lethal effects of lead poisoning from working with chemicals. In this eye-witness account by a Victorian reporter you will hear real stories of people living in dismal, cramped rooms, alongside mud and rubbish - with even bleaker lives, relieved only by the ever present escape of gambling, smoking and drink.
