Courts and Alleys by Elizabeth J Stewart
As Liverpool grew in the 18th and 19th centuries, there was high demand for new homes. High-density back-to-back housing around courtyards provided cramped, dark and often damp homes to Liverpool's working-class people. This book uses a range of historical and archaeological evidence to consider life in courts.
‘This is a well-conceived and executed addition to the scholarship of social conditions in Liverpool and deserves a wide readership’
Nick Foggo, Transactions of the Historic Society of Lancashire and Cheshire
‘This volume, written and formatted in an accessible style, and well and appropriately illustrated, is part of the current national revival in interest in workers’ housing of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. […] The volume deftly balances social and political details within a broader context, whilst demonstrating that this is a thoroughly researched piece of work.’
