Slides Information

Slide 1 – Division of Classes/ wealth
Annual Income Aristocrats - £30,000, Labourers, soldiers £25 (http://www.english.uwosh.edu/roth/VictorianEngland.htm)
Before the reform act “The rapidly growing new industrial cities are for the most part unrepresented in parliament” (http://www.historyworld.net/wrldhis/PlainTextHistories.asp?groupid=1158&HistoryID=ab07) this meant the Labourers were not represented at parliament which leads to their poor living arrangements.
“In 1832 Joseph Livesey and seven Preston workingmen signed a pledge that they would never again drink alcohol. Other groups of working men followed the example of Livesey and his friends and by 1835 the British Association for the Promotion of Temperance was formed.” (http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/REtemperance.htm)
George Simms in “How The Poor Live” “The gin-palace is heaven to them compared to the hell of their pestilent homes” (http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/REtemperance.htm)
The Contagious Diseases Acts were introduced in the 1860s for the compulsory examination of women believed to be common prostitutes for their hospitalization (known as lock hospitals or lock wards) should they be diagnosed suffering from a contagious disease within the meaning of the Acts (http://yourarchives.nationalarchives.gov.uk/index.php?title=The_Contagious_Diseases_Acts)
«Regulationist» policy attempted to isolate, segregate and domesticate prostitutional activity, resulting in a spatial order with clear class and gender biases.

· (http://www.victorianlondon.org/publications/sanitary-4.htm) The Above table shows that the money that gentlemen and professional men have lead to an average extra 39 years, as well as over 1000 people less dieing
· The poor would receive £25 annual salary (http://www.english.uwosh.edu/roth/VictorianEngland.htm) this was not a guaranteed income and would often be a temporary position, which was the case for most poor people.

There were disciplinary problems in 1847 amongst their officers on the 18 divisions, with 238 men being dismissed in the year. (http://www.met.police.uk/history/timeline1829-1849.htm)
Spring-heeled jack was a precursor to Jack the Ripper as it is another case with no known perpertrator “The police investigation was inconclusive alas, official investigators concluded the assailant was a local man who must have known the area and the Alsop family very well, but while suspects were known they could not positively identify any culprits.” (http://www.blackcatpress.co.uk/Spring_Heeled_Jack_Page.htm)
