Book Descriptions:
Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject History Europe - Other Countries - Modern Times, Absolutism, Industrialization, grade: 70% in England und 1,0 in D, University of Nottingham (School of History), course: Advanced Seminar, language: English, abstract: ‘The streets, houses, and market-place here broad, cleanly, and elegant.’ With
these words a German traveller described Nottingham in the early 1780s. In contrast to
this another contemporary stated only a decade later that,
the streets are in general covered of the blackest kind, which sable hue is
principally contracted from the dust of coal carts; and on a rainy day the heads of
the passengers are saluted with streams of water from long projecting spouts
issuing from the tops of the houses. The lighting and paving are articles which
also require much improvement.
It is obvious that during this time Nottingham experienced a considerable physical
change, which transformed the elegant Georgian town of 1750 into a dirty and filthy
industrial slum by 1830. During that period Nottingham had considerable problems with

1750 to 1830 when the town had first the standing of a garden town and then the
reputation of one of the worst slum areas in the country. In particular, it will focus on
the population and the housing situation during that period. In addition to that, accounts
of contemporaries who lived in or visited Nottingham will be mentioned to illustrate the
change within the town of Nottingham.
This essay will firstly examine the conditions and circumstances of the population
and the housing situation in Nottingham when it was a garden town so from about 1750
to 1790/1800. Then in the third chapter Nottingham’s population growth and its changed
housing situation will be discussed during Nottingham’s time as an industrial slum so
from 1800 to 1830. In conclusion, the last chapter shall analyse the conditions of the
years after 1830. It will attempt to understand why, within eighty years from about 1750 to 1830,
Nottingham changed its physical appearance so dramatically and which reasons
contributed to this transformation from a picturesque garden town to an filthy industrial
slum. Furthermore, it should make clear the conditions of the population, especially the
working-classes who lived in the centre of Nottingham which became the slum area. It
should make also clear that the people [...]
