Battersea Camberwell Deptford St. Paul Islington Kensington Lewisham St. Andrew & St. George Holborn St. Giles in Fields & St. George Bloomsbury St. George Bloomsbury Streatham Westminster St. Margaret & St. John the Evangelist Between 1886 and 1903, Charles Booth undertook a survey of the social conditions of the working class in London. His "Inquiry into the Life and Labour of the People in London" was first published in 1889 as Life and Labour of the People 2 vols with subsequent publications in 1892-1897 (9 vols) and 1902-1903 (17 vols). Detailed maps were drawn up in 1889 and 1898/9 to illustrate the findings of the survey. He classified poverty into 8 groups, ranging from the criminal and the very poorest classes through to the wealthy and upper classes, and each street was coloured accordingly. Both maps, along with original notes and data for the survey, have survived. Used in conjunction with census addresses, the maps can be used to help determine which social class a family or individual may have fallen into in 1901. A variety of searches can be made of the 1898/9 map, but not all the census addresses are easily located as the street index comes from a modern map of 2000 and numerous streets have disappeared since 1901. For those that aren't indexed, where possible, I have noted the nearest street which still exists. For more information and to view the digital image of the 1898/9 map visit the Charles Booth Online Archive. A digital image of the 1889 map has been made by the University of Michigan. |
