The Irish Famine of 1845-49 was a major modern catastrophe. The
return of the potato blight in 1846 triggered a huge exodus of
destitute Irish seeking refuge in British towns and 1847 witnessed
an unprecedented inflow of Irish refugees into Britain. This book
examines the scale of that refugee immigration, the conditions
under which the refugees were carried to Britain, the relief
operations mounted, the horrors of the typhus epidemic in
Liverpool, Glasgow, Manchester, South Wales and the North-East, and
the financial cost to the British ratepayers.
