About this product
Product Information
Criminals, drifters, beggars, the homeless, immigrants, prostitutes, tramping artisans, street entertainers, abandoned children, navvies, and families fallen on hard times - a whole underclass of people on the margins of society passed through Victorian lodging houses. These places were to be found in almost every city and town and they were central to working class life. The Jack the Ripper murders of 1888 brought lodging houses to the attention of an appalled public and, labelled seedbeds of infectious disease, they were seen as training schools for criminals and conmen of every description. The reality, however, was more complex as lodging houses also provided for those scratching a living, and sheltered those who refused to enter the workhouse. Joseph O'Neill's fresh research into this lost world of the 'night-time havens of the wandering tribes' flings open the door to the nineteenth century lodging house, and tells the forgotten stories of those who spent their nights sharing beds with bugs, thieves, and much worse. AUTHOR: Joseph O'Neill is a freelance writer and broadcaster. His work appears in all Britain and Ireland's leading family history and genealogical magazines. He is the author of four books, the latest, 'Crime City' (Milo Press) is a history of Manchester's Victorian underworld and 'The Manchester Martyrs' (Mercier Press) deals with the development of Irish nationalism and Britain's last public multiple execution. His latest book, 'Manchester in the Great War' (Pen and Sword) will be published in 2014 to commemorate the centenary of the outbreak of the war. 8 page plate section
