How did people live in the great Imperial City? 1837-1901 was a period of radical change: suburbs, industry, commerce, speed, immigration and new lifestyles. Despite the emergence of a solid middle class, there were appalling divisions in the class structure. But so outstanding was progress that much of Victorian achievement remains the infrastructure of London today.
POVERTY, PHILANTHROPY AND REFORM - LECTURE
Charles Dickens illustrates the world of poverty and casual employment, abject housing and disease in the ghettos of East and South London and the inner city, literally separated from the comfortable classes elsewhere. Organised public welfare did not emerge until the end of the century: pioneering philanthropists, Edwin Chadwick, Lord Shaftesbury, Angela Buirdett-Coutts, George Peabody and the Salvation Army heroically led the way.
