These incredibly harsh living conditions can be seen in images 1 and 3 where families are forced to live in an overcrowded and inadequate room. There was a very high demand for houses and many were built in terraced rows as can be seen in image 4. Some of these houses only had a small backyard where an outside bathroom was placed. Others were "back to back" with no yard, as shown in image 2. People living in cities needed affordable housing as the Industrial Revolution continued to grow. The Industrial Revolution not only brought terrible housing conditions, but many families had economic problems because they were being paid too little. Many people were unable to feed their children every day and sent them to sleep on an empty stomach until the next day, when they arrived at work.
