This image is a scanned text document that describes the redevelopment and living conditions of the Hornby Street area, which was declared an "Unhealthy Area" under the Housing of the Working Classes Act of 1890. The text elaborates the circumstances that led to the redevelopment, the problems with the original housing, and the features of the new dwellings.

Key details include:

• Location and Conditions: The Hornby Street area was situated about 3/4 of a mile from the docks, where most residents worked in casual labor. In 1902, the area was classified as unhealthy due to a large number of insanitary houses found in narrow, ill-ventilated courts. There were 534 houses, with 509 being insanitary and only 25 sanitary, representing a population of 2,431. Many houses lacked adequate conveniences, shared by multiple occupants.

• Redevelopment Costs and Design: The land and buildings were bought for £55,000, or £2 per square yard. The redevelopment included setting aside 3,200 square yards for roads and open spaces, and a recreation ground covering 1,653 square yards, with amenities for children like shelter, a drinking fountain, and gymnastic apparatus.

• New Housing Specifications: 23 housing blocks were constructed with 453 tenements designed to accommodate 4,446 people. The tenements ranged from four-room to one-room dwellings, with additional facilities such as an office, stores, a superintendent's house, shops, and a recreation ground. The buildings were typically 3-story, with living room dimensions specified (e.g., principal bedroom of about 120 square feet). Each tenement included a scullery, a dedicated WC, and a small outdoor space.

The overall focus is on improving living conditions and sanitation for the working-class population, emphasizing health, convenience, and recreation in the new development.

The image is a photograph of a typewritten document describing the Hornby Street area, which is situated about 3/4 of a mile from the docks. The document provides details about the historical urban conditions and redevelopment efforts in this area, likely in the context of urban planning or housing reform.

The text begins by explaining that the area was designated as an "Unhealthy Area" in 1902 under the Housing of the Working Classes Act of 1890. At that time, the area contained many insanitary houses in narrow, poorly ventilated courts, with basic facilities often shared by multiple families.

The document goes on to describe how the land and buildings were acquired and the redevelopment plans. The total acquisition cost was £56,000 or £3 per yard, excluding public houses. The whole site covers 67,600 square yards, with provisions for open spaces, including a recreation ground and gardens.

The new dwellings consist of 23 blocks containing 485 tenements, housing a total of 4,346 people. The buildings are typically 3 stories tall, and the tenements vary from one to four rooms, each equipped with essential facilities like a scullery, water closet, and refuse receptacle.

Overall, the document reflects a significant urban redevelopment project aimed at improving the housing conditions in a historically impoverished area.

The image is a scanned page of text that describes the Hornby Street area. It states the area is situated about 3/4 of a mile from the Docks, where the majority of the tenants are employed in casual labor. The area was scheduled as an "Unhealthy Area" in 1902, under the Housing of the Working Classes Act, 1890. There were 511 insanitary houses, in addition to 23 sanitary houses, making a total of 534, representing a population of 2,431. The insanitary houses were of the back to back type, situated in narrow and ill-ventilated courts, each court containing from 10 to 12 houses. The sanitary arrangements were very defective, in many cases one convenience being used by the occupants of 5 or 6 houses.

The freehold of the land and buildings was acquired at a total cost of £56,000 or £2 per yard, but it must be mentioned that 5 licensed public houses were included in the area. Excluding these public houses, the cost of acquiring the area represents 33s per square yard. The whole of the area comprises a total of 27,600 square yards. Of this amount 2,019 square yards have been voluntarily given up for street widening, and 3,200 square yards allocated for the provision of grass plots in front of the dwellings. In addition the scheme provides for a recreation ground of 1633 square yards in the centre of the area, surrounded on 3 sides by shrubberies 6 feet wide, and provided with gymnastic apparatus and a sand pit about 40 feet by 20 feet. A large shelter is placed in one corner of the ground and a drinking fountain nearby for the use of the children.

The new dwellings comprise 23 blocks containing 453 tenements, which accommodate 2,446 persons. There are 50 four-roomed, 221 three-roomed, 173 two-roomed and 9 one-roomed dwellings, together with a Superintendent's house, office and stores, 7 shops, a coal yard, and a recreation ground of about 1/3 of an acre in extent. The buildings, with the exception of the Superintendent's house, are 3 storeys in height, the height from floor to floor being, generally speaking, 9 feet 10 inches. Each living room contains a superficial area of about 150 feet or more, the principal bedroom about 120 feet, if a second bedroom, about 100 feet, and if a third bedroom, about 90 feet. Every tenement is provided with a good sized scullery, a separate w.c., and a separate receptacle for refuse, as well as a small yard or private drying space on all the floors.
