Liverpool was a burgeoning trading centre and rapidly growing town
in the early 18th century, developing into a thriving mercantile
metropolis by the 19th century. The demand for new housing was
high, and court housing largely filled that need. Court housing was
a form of high-density back-to-back housing around courtyards. It
provided homes to nearly half of Liverpool's working-class people
by the mid 19th century. Contemporary descriptions highlight the
cramped, dark and often damp conditions in these houses. This book
uses a range of historical and archaeological evidence about courts
to consider their development, life within them, and the measures
eventually taken to rid Liverpool of them. This book considers
courts and their impact on people's lives in Liverpool for over 250
years. This book features international parallels to courts as well
as some of the people involved in investigating this type of
housing, providing historical context to this fascinating aspect of
Liverpool's past.
