was mainly occupied by people who were clerks, social dwellers, shopkeepers, small-scale traders, soldiers, and people who were semi-skilled or who did not utilise their skills and became beggars.
Due to the increasing population, there was a demand for an increase in employment opportunities. Also, there was not enough space and finances for everyone to live comfortably. So, all the poor people had to live under one big room together. This caused a threat to sanitation and hygiene leading to diseases. There was no ventilation.
Also, the cities were not very well maintained and there were no basic amenities for most of the poor people. The poor quality of housing threatened the people of fire hazards.
So, the people were not happy with this situation and started rebelling. They were beaten and dispersed by the police which marked the day as the dreadful 'Blood Sunday' in the history of London.
