Victorian London's Brutal East End Slum - Filthy Old Nichol Street (Bethnal Green/Shoreditch)

The Old Nichol Street in East End Victorian London had a brutal reputation as a filthy and crime-ridden slum. Its road was rotten with mud and water; its houses were dirty and repulsive; and, if you were a stranger, sinister faces looked at you from behind blinds and dirty curtains as you walked its rugged pavement. Work was the exception and robbery the rule. Discover what wretched living conditions people endured with a vivid description of the sum as told by an intrepid Victorian author who ventured into its streets.
