The Poor
had few luxuries.
ate food they could afford to buy much
worked long hours
lived in damp, filthy conditions.
Many children died of disease.

A loaf of bread cost about 3 d (pennies). Most of the week's money was spent on bread leaving little for other necessities. The weekly shop could also include milk, cheese and potatoes. Poor families could only afford meat once a week - this would have be saved for Sunday lunch.

Many people could not afford the rents that were being charged and so they rented out space in their room to one or two lodgers who paid between twopence and fourpence a day.

Many cases of death caused by starvation and destitution were reported. One example of such a report will suffice. In 1850 an inquest was held on a 38 year old man whose body was reported as being little more than a skeleton, his wife was described as being ‘the very personification of want’ and her child as a ‘skeleton infant’(4).

There were children living with their families in these desperate situations but there were also numerous, homeless, destitute children living on the streets of London.Many children were turned out of home and left to fend for themselves at an early age and many more ran away because of ill treatment.

Many children lived by stealing and to the Victorians they must have seemed a very real threat to society. Something had to be done about them to preserve law and order.

There was no electricity back then so used candles and gas lamps for light. There was no cars in the Victorian times so some people walked, traveled by boat, train or used coach horses to move from palace to place .the number of people living in Britain more than doubled from 16 million to 37million, causing a huge demand for food, clothes and housing. This lead to millions of people living in poverty. Even though there was millions of poor people, many house holds had a servant/servants. In 1891 two million servants were recorded in the census.
