    Terrible Towns documents the living conditions for ordinary people in the newly industrialized towns and cities of 19th century Britain. Houses were built quickly and cheaply to accommodate factory workers, crammed closely together without proper planning or quality control. This overcrowding, with usually five or more people living in one room, led to widespread disease, poverty, crime, and poor health conditions as a result of the lack of sanitation and space.
