Hello everybody!
We're now going to look at life in London in the 19th century.
As you already know, Charles Dickens lived in the 19th century and he
wrote about it in his books. At this time, London was the largest, most
spectacular city in the world. In 1800, the population of London was around 1
million. In 1900, the population increased to 5 million. This caused a
lot of poverty in the streets of London. Crime, especially street
robbery and pickpocketing, was popular in the dark. Thousands of chimneys
created black smoke and black soot was everywhere. Many people drank
water from the River Thames, which was often contaminated. Help for the
poor was available in the workhouses. However, the conditions of these
workhouses were horrible. In reality, the workhouses were like a prison
for the poor. This is because the government wanted to improve
poverty.
Questions:
- Define the 10 words in bold.
- How much did the population increase between 1800 and 1900?
- What were the streets of London like in the 19th century?
- Why do you think people drank from the River Thames?
- Why were the workhouses so bad?
Your task:
- Find 3 more facts about life in London in the 19th century and comment
below.
Have fun :)
