Description
Summary:	Dirt. Depravity. Danger. Disease. From the slurry-filled sewers to the most overcrowded of tenement blocks, Victorian Britain thrummed with the heartbeats of those who had lived there. Infants and children, adults and elders had called these twisting labyrinthian warrens home. Here they had labored, they had loved, they had lost. These people had celebrated progress and had fought for reform. They had raised families, fallen in love, worked laborious jobs and lamented the deaths of their loved ones.
