Excerpt from Life and Labour of the People in London

It does not appear that religious ministrations in any form are the first necessity here. The most evident step towards improvement would be the forcible open ing up of this stronghold of squalor. If Warrior Road were projected into Sultan Street, and Sultan Street Opened out under the railway, into Camberwell Road, the whole atmosphere would be changed; and while, perhaps, remaining an abode of the poor, the streets would at any rate have the chance they now lack of becoming respectable.

There is here no question of absolute destruction. It is an overcrowded, but not an insanitary area, and the death-rate is said to be lower than in some respectable streets. It is merely, to use the forcible language of one of our witnesses, a collection of streets where beastly men and women live bestially.'
