REPORT  OF  THE  MEDICAL  OFFICER  OF  HEALTH. 


The  two  most  important  events  of  the  year  1881  in  relation  to  the  vital 
statistics  of  Manchester,  and  to  the  sanitary  treatment  of  infectious  disease 
within  the  city,  were  the  taking  of  the  census  of  the  population  of  that  year, 
and  the  passing  of  an  Act  by  which  the  Corporation  was  enabled  to  obtain 
information  from  medical  men,  and  from  occupiers  of  houses,  and  certain  other 
persons,  of  the  occurrence  therein  of  cases  of  smallpox,  scarlet  fever,  typhus 
and  typhoid  fever,  diphtheria,  relapsing  fever,  and  puerperal  fever.  The 
census  was  taken  in  the  usual  manner.  Each  registration  sub-district  of  the 
city  was  divided  into  certain  small  blocks  or  districts,  which  were  called 
enumerators’  districts,  and  to  each  of  these  a  person  was  appointed  to  count 
the  houses  inhabited,  uninhabited,  and  building,  and  to  record  in  detail  the 
ages,  occupations,  names,  and  relation  to  occupier  of  the  persons  who  slept  in 
each  inhabited  house  on  the  night  before  the  census.  These  details  passed 
first  into  the  hands  of  the  respective  registrars,  by  whom  they  were  examined 
and  revised ;  thence  they  were  passed  to  the  Superintendent  Registrar,  in 
whose  office  they  were  again  revised;  and,  finally,  were  sent  to  the  office  of  the 
Registrar-General  of  Births,  Deaths,  and  Marriages  in  London. 

The  final  results  of  the  examinations  in  Somerset  House,  so  far  as  regards 
the  city  of  Manchester,  are  given  below  : —

What  is  described  above  as  the  civil  parish  of  Manchester  comprises  the 
three  following  registration  sub-districts  : — Ancoats,  St.  George’s,  and  Central. 
Hie  Central  Registration  Sub-district  comprehends  the  three  sub-districts 
formerly  described  as  those  of  Market  Street,  London  Road,  and  Deansgate. 
In  consequence  of  the  diminished  resident  population  in  these  three  latter 
sub-districts,  it  was  found  expedient  to  associate  them  under  one  registrar,  and 
to  give  a  new  name  to  the  sub-district  formed  by  their  union.  I  am  indebted 
to  Dr.  Ogle,  of  the  office  of  the  Registrar-General,  for  the  following  statement 
of  the  number  of  persons  who  slept  in  the  inhabited  houses  of  the  registration 
sub-districts  which  together  form  the  township  of  Manchester  on  the  night 
preceding  the  census  of  1881  : — 


Ancoats  .  47978 

St.  George’s .  59128 

Central  .  41688 


The  number  of  inhabited  and  uninhabited  houses  in  these  registration  sub¬ 
districts  were  extracted  in  August  last  (1881)  from  the  Overseers’  books  at  the 
offices  in  Fountain  Street,  with  the  following  results  : —

The  following  table  of  the  population  and  number  of  houses  in  each  of  the 
registration  sub-districts  in  1871  will  show  the  changes  which  have  taken 
place  in  the  respective  townships  of  the  city  within  the  last  ten  years.  The 
following  registration  sub-districts  are  co-equal  in  area  with  the  townships  of 
the  same  names,  viz.: — Hulme,  Chorlton-upon-Medlock,  Ardwick,  Beswick, 
and  Cheetham.

Between  1871  and  1881  these  numbers  show  a  diminution  in  the  number  of 
inhabited  houses  in  the  township  of  Manchester  amounting  to  3,183,  and  in 
the  number  of  inhabitants  a  diminution  amounting  to  25,194,  being  at  the 
rate  of  7' 9  persons  per  house.  The  township  of  Hulme  exhibits  a  diminution 
in  the  same  period  of  588  inhabited  houses,  and  of  2,584  persons,  being  at  the 
rate  of  4’39  persons  per  house,  or  a  total  diminution  of  3,771  inhabited  houses 
for  the  two  townships,  and  of  27,778  persons. 

In  the  townships  of  Chorlton-upon-Medlock,  Ardwick,  Cheetham,  and 
Beswick  there  was  a  total  increase  of  3,631  inhabited  houses,  and  of  18,003 
inhabitants  =  4-9  per  house. 

The  number  of  persons  estimated  for  the  whole  city,  therefore,  was  341,414; 
or,  9,775  less  than  in  the  census  of  1871. 

In  April  of  1881  the  houses  in  the  respective  townships  forming  the  city  of 
Manchester  were  assessed  by  the  overseers  of  the  poor  for  the  purpose  of 
rating.  The  books  of  the  assessors  were  not  all  made  up  until  August  of  that 
year.  The  houses  assessed,  and  which  were  carefully  counted  in  these  books, 
showed  the  following  numbers  : — 

Inhabited  houses 


Manchester  .  30044 

Hulme  .  14403 

Chorlton-upon-Medlock  .  11159 

Cheetham .  4521 

Ardwick  .  6356 

Beswick .  1635 


68118 


The  difference  in  the  number  of  inhabited  houses  between  these  figures  and 
those  obtained  from  the  census  amount  to  1,054,  and,  adopting  so  small  a 
multiplier  as  5  as  representing  the  population  of  each  house,  the  difference  in 
the  population  of  the  city  would  be  not  less  than  5,270,  which  would  give  a 
total  population  for  the  city  in  1881  of  346,684,  or  a  diminution  of  4,505  from 
the  population  as  determined  by  the  census  of  1871. 

In  the  census  of  1871  the  average  number  of  persons  to  each  house  within 


the  following  townships  was  : — 

Manchester  .  5  33 

Cheetham  . , .  5  #9 

Hulme  . J 

Chorlton-upon-Medlock . >  5  02 

Ardwick . J 

Beswick  .  5* 02 


6 


In  the  census  of  1881  the  average  for  the  townships  was  : — 


Manchester  .  5 '05 

Cheetham .  5'7 

Hulme  . I 

Chorlton-upon-Medlock . I  5*04 

Ardwick . J 

Beswick  .  4 ’9  6 


These  figures  exhibit  a  remarkable  correspondence  for  the  townships  of 
Hulme,  Chorlton-upon-Medlock,  Ardwick,  Beswick,  and  Cheetham.  The  great 
difference  is  observable  with  regard  to  the  township  of  Manchester,  the 
average  number  of  persons  per  house  in  this  township  having  been  in  the  last 
census  5 •05,  and  in  the  1871  census  5*33.  On  the  present  number  of  houses 
according  to  the  last  census  this  would  make  a  difference  in  the  population  of 
8,153,  or  taking  the  number  of  houses  assessed  by  the  overseers  in  the  same 
month  as  that  in  which  the  last  census  was  taken  of  11,340.  In  the  other 
townships  the  houses  are  almost  entirely  of  two  storeys,  and  for  the  most  part 
occupied  as  single  houses,  with  the  exception  of  Cheetham,  in  the  lower  part 
of  which  township,  about  Red  Bank,  a  large  number  of  rooms  in  the  houses  are 
let  off  as  separate  tenements.  In  the  township  of  Manchester,  particularly  in 
the  central  portion,  the  houses  are  let  off  in  separate  rooms  to  a  considerable 
number  of  tenants,  and  many  of  the  houses  are  of  three  storeys,  so  that  there 
is  considerable  concentration  of  population.  In  the  Deansgate  portion  of  the 
Central  Registration  Sub-district  and  constituting  the  former  Registration 
Sub-district  of  Deansgate,  there  has  been  a  considerable  displacement  of 
population  by  the  pulling  down  of  houses  for  the  erection  of  places  of  business, 
for  widening  the  great  thoroughfare  of  Deansgate,  and  for  the  building  of  the 
Central  Railway  Station. 

In  the  Registration  Sub-district  of  Ancoats  and  St.  George’s  any  dimi¬ 
nution  in  the  number  of  inhabitants  over  certain  areas  of  these  must  arise 
rather  from  migration  than  from  displacement,  the  bad  state  of  trade  during 
the  twelve  months  preceding  the  last  census  having  materially  affected  the 
employment  of  the  people  living  in  these  districts,  and  led  them  to  seek  rooms 
in  houses  ;  or,  in  other  words,  to  occupy  tenement  rooms  rather  than  distinct 
houses,  to  which  they  had  been  previously  accustomed.  But  whilst  from  this 
cause  there  may  be  a  reduction  in  the  number  of  inhabited  houses,  an  increase 
in  the  actual  number  of  persons  living  in  the  houses  occupied  might  have  been 
expected,  and  hence  it  is  with  surprise  that  I  read  of  a  diminished  number  of 
persons  per  house  having  been  the  result  of  the  countings  of  the  first  of  April 
1881  The  actual  diminution  of  the  population  of  the  Ancoats  Sub-district 
amounts,  according  to  the  figures  of  the  census,  to  4,678.  In  St.  George’s 
Sub-district  there  has  been  a  declared  increase  of  population  amounting  to 


V 


7 


1,036,  which  may  be  accounted  for  by  a  considerable  number  of  houses  having 
been  built  since  the  last  census  in  the  upper  part  of  the  district ;  but  we  are 
again  met  by  the  statement  of  the  diminished  number  of  persons  per  house, 
which,  considering  that  a  large  part  of  Angel  Meadow  is  occupied  by  three¬ 
storied  houses,  let  off  in  separate  tenements,  may  well  excite  surprise.  It  is 
somewhat  remarkable  that  the  average  number  of  persons  per  house  through¬ 
out  the  whole  townships  of  Hulme,  Chorlton-upon-Medlock,  and  Ardwick 
should  have  undergone  no  change  during  the  ten  years,  the  average  numbers 
for  the  aggregate  townships  in  1871  having  been  5 -02  per  house,  and  in  1881 
5 '04  per  house,  and  yet  the  diminution  in  the  population  of  the  township  of 
Hulme  in  the  ten  years  was  2,584. 


The  great  requirements  for  health  have  been  defined  to  be — 

Good  Water  Warm  Clothing 

Good  Food  Provision  against  outbreak  of 

Pure  Air  disease 

Keeping  these  in  view  as  the  chief  objects  of  sanitary  effort,  let  us  summarise 
what  has  been  done  within  a  few  years  by  the  Corporation  for  the  city  of 
Manchester. 

A  good  and  ample  supply  of  pure  water  for  drinking  and  for  culinary 
purposes  lias  been  furnished  to  every  house.  So  ample  is  the  supply  and  so 
pure  the  quality  that  it  also  suffices  for  all  purposes  of  cleanliness  with  a 
minimum  quantity  of  soap  or  alkali,  in  consequence  of  its  comparative  freedom 
from  earthy  salts.  As  a  matter  of  economy  this  purity  of  the  water  is  very 
important.  The  water  from  Thirlmere  which  it  is  proposed  to  bring  to  Man¬ 
chester  is  even  still  more  free  from  earthy  salts  than  that  now  supplied  to  the 
city. 

A  further  and  important  means  of  cleanliness  is  furnished  to  the  inhabitants 
of  the  city  by  the  large  baths  supplied  by  the  Corporation.  From  the  success 
which  has  attended  the  construction  of  these  baths  it  is  probable  that  they 
will  receive  still  further  development. 

I  need  not  comment  on  the  value  of  the  copious  water  supply  for  trade  and 
manufacturing  purposes  as  a  stimulant  to  labour 

The  Food  Adulteration  Act  has  placed  within  the  power  of  the  Corporation 
means  to  secure,  by  proper  watchfulness  and  by  analytical  examination,  with 
punishment  in  case  of  fraud,  that  the  food  supplied  to  the  people  shall  he  of 
good  and  proper  quality,  and  so  far  does  the  Act  cover  all  articles  likely  to  be 


8 


consumed  as  food,  and  so  efficiently  has  the  Act  been  brought  into  operation, 
that  it  may  be  accepted  with  reasonable  confidence  that  the  food  supplied  to 
the  inhabitants  of  Manchester  is  in  the  main  what  it  is  professed  to  be.  The 
zeal  with  which  the  examination  of  milk  and  bread  has  been  carried  out,  and 
the  successful  results  attending  the  efforts  made  to  secure  the  supply  of  these 
important  articles  pure  cannot  be  too  highly  appreciated.  Scarcely  less  can  be 
said  of  the  value  of  market  inspection,  by  which  all  diseased  or  unwholesome 
meat,  vegetables,  and  fruits  are  withheld  from  the  public. 

It  is  pretty  certain,  then,  that  pure  water  and  good  unadulterated  wholesome 
food  are  supplied  to  the  people  of  this  city. 

A  much  more  difficult  element  of  life  to  supply  pure  is  the  atmosphere.  The 
great  reservoir  of  all  emanations,  its  pollutions  in  a  great  city  are  many.  What 
were  their  sources  a  few  years  ago  1 

1.  Sixteen  acres  of  cesspool  four  feet  deep. 

2.  Many  miles  of  ill-swept  streets,  courts,  passages,  and  yards,  partially 

covered  with  decomposing  animal  and  vegetable  matter. 

3.  Emanations  from  slaughter-houses. 

4.  Emanations  from  chemical  works. 

5.  From  numerous  manufactories. 

6.  Coal  smoke. 

7.  From  rivers,  brooks,  and  drains. 

The  power  acquired  by  the  Corporation  to  obtain  early  information  of  the 

occurrence  of  certain  forms  of  infectious  disease  within  the  city  was  the  result 

* 

of  an  application  made  to  the  Local  Government  Board.  The  Act  conveying 
the  power  to  the  Corporation  was  entitled,  “  Local  Government  Board’s 
Provisional  Order  Confirmation  Act  1881  (44  and  45  Viet.),  and  contains 
the  following  clauses  : — 

If  any  inmate  of  any  building  used  for  human  habitation  within  the 
city  be  suffering  from  infectious  disease,  the  occupier,  or  person  having 
the  management  or  control  of  such  building,  or,  if  such  occupier  or  person 
is  prevented  by  reason  of  such  disease,  then  the  person  in  charge  of  such 
inmate,  shall,  so  soon  as  he  shall  become  aware  of  the  existence  in  any 
such  inmate  of  any  such  disease,  forthwith  give  notice  to  the  Medical 
Officer  of  Health,  at  his  office,  of  the  existence  in  such  inmate  of  such 
disease. 

Every  medical  practitioner  attending  on  or  called  in  to  visit  such 
inmate  shall,  on  becoming  aware  that  such  inmate  is  suffering  from  any 
infectious  disease,  forthwith  fill  up,  sign,  and  send,  by  post  or  otherwise, 
to  the  Medical  Officer  of  Health,  at  his  office,  a  certificate  stating,  accord¬ 
ing  to  the  forms  prescribed  and  supplied  to  him  by  the  Corporation,  the 


9 


name  of  such .  inmate,  the  situation  of  such  building,  and  the  name  of 
such  occupier  or  person,  and  the  nature  of-  the  disease  from  which,  in  the 
opinion  of  such  medical  practitioner,  such  inmate  is  suffering ;  and  the 
delivery  of  such  certificate,  duly  filled  up  and  signed  as  aforesaid,  at  the 
office  of  the  Medical  Officer  of  Health,  shall  be  deemed  to  be  a  sufficient 
fulfilment  of  the  requirements  of  certain  sub-divisions  of  Article  VIII. 

After  stating  what  other  persons  may  be  required  to  give  information,  the 
fees  payable  to  medical  men,  and  the  penalties  for  omission  to  give  informa¬ 
tion,  the  Article  goes  on  to  say  : — 

The  expression  “infectious  disease ”  in  the  article  means  smallpox, 
typhus  and  typhoid  fever,  scarlatina,  diphtheria,  cholera,  relapsing  fever, 
and  puerperal  fever,  and  such  other  diseases  as  the  Corporation  may  from 
time  to  time  order  to  be  deemed  infectious  diseases  within  and  subject  to 
the  provisions  of  the  Article. 

Immediately  after  the  receipt  of  the  Act,  the  Officer  of  Health  directed  the 
following  letter  to  every  medical  practitioner  within  the  city  : — 

Health  Department, 

Town  Hall,  Manchester. 

Dear  Sir, — I  have  the  pleasure  to  send  you  a  number  of  forms  for 
Medical  Certificate  of  Disease,  to  be  filled  up  and  forwarded  to  me  on 
the  occurrence  in  your  practice  of  any  cases  of  smallpox,  typhus  or 
typhoid  fever,  scarlatina.,  diphtheria,  relapsing  fever,  or  puerperal  fever, 
within  the  city  of  Manchester,  in  accordance  with  the  Act  44  &  45 
Viet.,  entitled  Local  Government  Board’s  Provisional  Order  Confirmation 
Act  1881,  in  which  it  is  provided  that  every  medical  practitioner 
attending  on  or  called  in  to  visit  any  inmate  of  any  house  shall,  on  his 
becoming  aware  that  such  inmate  is  suffering  from  any  infectious  disease 
included  within  the  above  category,  forthwith  fill  up,  sign,  and  send  by 
post,  or  otherwise,  to  the  Medical  Officer  of  Health,  at  his  office,  a 
certificate  stating,  according  to  the  forms  prescribed  and  supplied  to  him 
by  the  Corporation,  the  name  of  such  inmate,  the  situation  of  the  house 
in  which  he  resides,  and  the  name  of  the  occupier  or  other  person  in 
charge  of  the  house,  and  the  nature  of  the  disease  from  which,  in  the 
opinion  of  such  medical  practitioner,  such  inmate  is  suffering,  and  the 
delivery  of  sucli  certificate  duly  filled  up  and  signed  as  aforesaid  at  the 
office  of  the  Medical  Officer  of  Health  shall  be  deemed  to  be  a  sufficient 
fulfilment  of  the  requirements  of  the  Act  relating  hereto. 

It  is  further  provided  that  the  Corporation  shall  pay  to  every  medical 
practitioner  who  shall,  in  pursuance  of  the  above  requirement,  duly 

make  and  give  any  such  certificate  a  fee  of  two  shillings  and  sixpence 

£ 


10 


for  every  such  certificate.  The  same  medical  practitioner  shall  not  be 
required  to  give  more  than  one  certificate,  and  shall  not  he  entitled  to 
more  than  one  fee  in  respect  of  certificates  given  by  him  within  an 
interval  of  thirty  days  in  respect  of  the  same  disease  occurring  in  the 
same  building,  and  any  person  who  shall  offend  against  the  provision  of 
this  Article  (Article  VIII.  of  this  order),  unless  ignorant  thereof,  the 
burden  of  the  proof  of  which  shall  be  on  him,  shall  for  every  such  offence 
be  liable  to  a  penalty  not  exceeding  five  pounds,  which  shall  be 
recoverable  in  manner  provided  by  Section  32  of  the  Act  of  1872. 

I  am,  dear  Sir, 

Yours  faithfully, 

John  Leigh, 

Medical  Officer  of  Health  for  the 
City  of  Manchester. 

P.S. — If  the  circumstances  attending  any  case  be  such  as  to  render 
removal  to  hospital  desirable,  will  you  kindly  state  whether  you  think 
the  patient  is  fit  for  removal. 


The  total  number  of  deaths  within  the  homes  of  the  people  in  the  city  of 
Manchester,  including  Beswick,  during  the  year  1881  was  7,187,  which  in  a 
population  of  341,414  (the  determination  of  the  last  census)  is  equal  to  a 
death-rate  of  21 -05  per  1,000  ;  but  370  deaths  took  place  in  public  hospitals 
within  the  city,  and  34  in  Monsall  Hospital  (from  infectious  diseases)  of  persons 
removed  to  that  hospital  from  the  city,  whilst  26  inquests  were  held  on  the 
bodies  of  persons  who  could  not  be  discovered  from  the  Registrars’  entries  to 
have  had  any  residence  in  the  city.  These,  added  to  the  preceding  number, 
will  raise  the  death-rate  to  22 *31  per  1,000.  Including  856  deaths  in 
Crumpsall  Workhouse,  the  death-rate  will  be  24*81  per  1,000. 

The  tables  in  the  appendix,  and  the  statistics  in  the  body  of  this  report,  will 
be  calculated  on  the  numbers  of  the  population,  the  results  of  the  last  census 
as  reported  to  this  department  from  the  office  of  the  Registrar-General.  It  is 
not  necessary  to  point  out  further  than  has  been  done  above  to  what  extent  the 
figures  may  be  modified  by  the  different  estimates  of  the  population,  for  which 
there  seems  to  be  considerable  justification, 


11 


In  the  several  registration  sub-districts  of  the  city,  excluding  the  26  special 
coroner’s  cases  (from  drowning  &c.),  and  deaths  occurring  in  hospitals,  the  rates

From  these  two  columns  it  will  be  seen  that  a  general,  and  in  some  cases  a 
considerable,  reduction  in  the  rate  of  mortality  had  taken  place  during  the  year 
1881  in  relation  to  that  of  1879,  whilst  the  table  for  1881  had  been  constructed 
under  the  disadvantage  of  a  lower  relative  population.  The  most  satisfactory 
circumstance  connected  with  it  is  that  the  reduction  is  shown  to  have  extended 
nearly  over  the  entire  city,  the  apparent  increase  of  0  •! 2  in  Ancoats  and  0  o  in 
Cheetham  being  more  than  covered  by  the  difference  which  a  uniform  basis  of 
calculation  would  give.  The  Central  Registration  Sub-district  (including  the 
former  registration  sub-districts  of  Deansgate,  Market  Street,  and  London 
Road),  St.  George’s,  Hulme,  Chorlton-upon-Medlock,  and  Beswick  all  exhibit  a 
diminution. 

Though  the  deaths  in  the  winter  quarter  of  1881  were  not  so  numerous  as  in 
that  of  1879,  yet  they  were  in  excess  of  those  of  the  winter  quarters  of  1877, 
1878,  and  1880,  as  the  following  table  will  show  : —

An  examination  of  the  deaths  in  each  week  during  the  winter  quarter  of 
1881  has  shown  that  in  the  four  weeks  ending  5th  February,  1,069  deaths  took 
place,  constituting  one-eightli  of  the  entire  mortality  for  the  year.  The  difference 
in  the  rate  of  mortality  producible  by  severe  climatic  conditions  will  be  shown 
by  a  comparison  of  the  deaths  of  the  winter  quarter  of  1881  (namely  2,593) 
with  those  of  the  ensuing  spring  quarter  (1,970),  the  difference  being  623,  or  in 
other  words  623  more  persons  died  in  the  three  months  of  the  winter  quarter 
than  in  the  similar  period  constituting  the  spring  quarter.

Perhaps  the  most  striking  fact  connected  with  this  table  is  that  the  deaths 
from  whooping  cough  do  not  bear  an  absolute  relation  to  the  severity  of  the 
season,  or  an  equal  relation  to  the  number  of  deaths  from  diseases  of  the  lungs, 
the  result  of  its  severity  ;  for,  although  in  the  year  1879  394  deaths  from 
whooping  cough  took  place  when  there  were  3,011  deaths  from  diseases  of  the 
lungs,  yet  in  the  next  most  severe  of  the  five  years  tabulated  there  wTere  only  214 
deaths  from  whooping  cough,  against  3,064  from  diseases  of  the  lungs  generally. 
The  next  highest  number  ol  deaths  from  whooping  cough  occurred  in  the  year 
1877,  when  332  deaths  from  this  disease  occurred,  against  2,558  from  diseases 
of  the  lungs.

Adding  together  the  deaths  from  whooping  cough  in  the  winter  and  spring 
quarters  of  the  total  number  of  years,  we  get  1 ,010,  whilst  those  of  the  summer 
and  autumn  quarters  amount  to  479,  the  difference  being  531.  The  fatal 
influence  of  the  cold  during  the  winter  and  spring  months  on  the  progress  of 
whooping  cough  could  not  be  more  strikingly  shown,  nor  the  necessity  for  the 
provision  of  warm  clothing  and  a  genial  atmosphere  during  the  time  that  so 
many  of  the  children  of  Manchester  are  suffering  from  this  serious  and 
distressing  ailment,  and  to  which  so  many  of  the  children  of  the  poor 
succumb. 

The  long  duration  of  the  complaint,  and  its  excessively  infectious  nature, 
constitute  the  difficulties  in  its  sanitary  treatment.  No  child  suffering  from 
whooping  cough  can  be  placed  in  a  ward  of  a  hospital  amongst  other  children 
not  similarly  affected,  whilst  the  accommodation  required  for  the  treatment  of 
the  disease  would  be  considerable,  and  therefore  expensive.  It  is  probable  that 
a  bed  in  a  hospital  would  not  receive  more  than  six  or  eight  children  in  a  year, 
so  that  a  hospital  with  20  beds  wrould  be  equal  to  no  more  than  160  cases. 
Most  of  the  cases  would  require  very  little  medical  treatment.  All  that  would 
be  needed  for  the  most  part  in  a  ward  devoted  to  whooping  cough  would  be 
warmth  and  an  equal  temperature. 

The  other  most  fatal  diseases  from  which  children  suffer  are  measles,  scarlet 
fever,  and  diarrhoea. 

As  measles  is  frequently  fatal  from  accompanying  bronchial  or  pneumonic 
affection  it  might  be  thought  that  the  heaviest  mortality  would  always  occur 
in  winter,  and  the  experience  of  1881  would  seem  to  confirm  this,  for  whilst 
70  children  died  in  the  quarter  ending  31st  December,  and  19  in  that  ending 
31st  March,  only  26  died  in  the  spring  and  summer  quarters ;  yet,  taking  the 
five  years  1877-81  inclusive,  it  will  be  found  that  whilst  356  children  died 
from  measles  in  the  autumn  and  winter  quarters,  374  died  in  the  spring  and 
summer  quarters.  The  severity  of  the  autumn  and  winter  seasons  seems  to 


14 


have  told  more  unfavourably  on  cases  of  scarlet  fever,  for  whilst  597  deaths 
occurred  in  the  spring  and  summer  quarters  of  the  same  five  years,  835  deaths

The  deaths  from  diarrhoea,  almost  exclusively  a  disease  of  the  late  summer 
months,  August  and  September,  have  been  during  the  last  five  years  as  follows : —

These  added  to  the  deaths  from  measles,  whooping  cough,  and  scarlet  fever, 
will  give  a  general  total  of  5,521  deaths  in  five  years  of  young  children  from 
these  four  preventive  diseases,  or  an  average  of  1,104  deaths  annually. 

It  is  difficult  to  form  a  correct  estimate  of  the  number  of  cases  these  figures 
represent,  bio  systematic  returns  are  made  of  cases  of  measles,  whooping 
cough,  or  diarrhoea — only  of  the  deaths.  The  experience  of  1882,  however,  has 


15 


shown  ns  that  under  the  new  Act  from  4th  February  to  13th  November  967  cases 
of  scarlet  fever  within  the  city  have  been  reported  by  medical  practitioners,  the 
deaths  from  which  have  been  86,  which  is  equal  to  one  death  in  11-2  cases. 
The  five  years’  deaths  from  scarlet  fever  on  this  calculation  would  represent 
16,038  cases,  or  3,207  annually.  We  have  no  reason  to  believe  that  the  same 
proportions  would  hold  for  the  three  other  infantile  diseases,  whooping  cough, 
measles,  and  diarrhoea,  or  a  total  of  cases  would  be  represented  by  the 
mortality  equal  to  61,835,  or  12,367  annually.  The  number  is  appalling  when 
considered  in  connection  with  the  question  of  hospital  accommodation.  Even 
the  scarlet  fever  cases  (32,071)  alone,  which  are  the  only  ones  likely  to  reach 
the  adult  population,  present  in  their  average  annual  number  a  financial 
difficulty  which  is  disheartening.  Except  in  the  danger  threatening  the  adult 
population,  it  cannot  be  said  that  whooping  cough  and  measles  less  deserve  the 
serious  attention  of  the  community  than  scarlet  fever. 

Diarrhoea,  though  no  doubt  a  zymotic  or  fermentative  disease,  has  not  been 
shown  to  be  infectious,  so  that  the  same  danger  of  its  extending  to  the  more  well- 
to-do  classes  of  the  community  does  not  exist  as  in  the  case  of  the  other  zymotic 
diseases  of  infancy ;  nevertheless,  it  is  peculiarly  fatal  to  the  children  of  the 
poorer  classes.  Its  attacks  are  mainly  confined  to  the  very  young.  As  a  rule, 
its  fatality  is  almost  confined  to  the  months  of  August  and  September,  though 
in  a  hot  summer  its  attacks  will  commence  early  in  July  and  will  extend  well 
into  October.  Being  limited  almost  entirely  to  the  children  of  the  poor,  it  is 
probable  that  it  is  more  nearly  related  to  diet  than  to  any  other  cause.  It  is  a 
disease,  however,  that  has  not  been  well  investigated,  and  I  am  glad  to  know 
that  Dr.  Ballard,  of  the  Local  Government  Office,  is  at  the  present  time 
making  it  an  object  of  especial  study. 

Within  the  last  five  years  1,870  children  have  perished  from  this  disease,  or 
on  an  average  374  annually,  as  seen  by  the  following  table  : —

The  deaths  from  typhus  and  typhoid  fever,  though  slightly  in  excess  of  those 
for  1879,  still  exhibit  a  considerable  decrease  from  the  numbers  of  deaths  in 
many  previous  years.

The  additions  to  the  atmosphere  which  have  been  thought  to  be  most 
injurious  to  animal  life  are  those  arising  from  the  decomposition  of  animal 
and  vegetable  matters.  The  stench  arising  from  these  when  in  decomposition 
cannot  be  referred  to  any  known  gases  or  combinations  of  gases.  It  arises 
during  the  changes  accompanying  the  development  of  one  or  several  organised 
or  organic  matters  supposed  to  be  either  ferments  themselves  or  prone  to 
undergo  fermentation,  and  to  be  capable  of  communicating  their  fermentative 
action  to  other  bodies,  even  when  contained  in  living  organisms.  On  the  other 
hand,  these  very  decomposing  bodies,  when  exposed  to  the  free  action  of  the 
atmosphere,  as  in  the  country,  experience  an  entirely  different  form  of  change. 
Freely  exposed  to  oxygen  and  ozone,  and  under  free  currents  of  air,  the  matters 
are  simply  burned — converted,  in  fact,  into  carbonic  acid  and  water,  with 
liberation  of  ammonia.  So  that  under  the  two  different  sets  of  circumstances 
ttie  same  matters  become  the  inoffensive  food  of  plants,  or  the  foetid,  offensive, 
and  dangerous  poisons  of  animal  bodies. 

The  chief  sources  of  these  dangerous  emanations  and  injurious  additions  to 
the  atmosphere  of  Manchester  a  few  years  ago  were  : — 

(a)  The  sixteen  acres  of  cesspool  diffused  over  the  entire  city  in  many 
thousands  of  privies  and  smaller  cesspools. 

(b)  The  many  miles  of  ill-swept  streets,  courts,  passages,  &c 

(c)  The  emanations  from  slaughter-house  premises  and  albumen  manufac¬ 
tories,  and  other  works  where  putrid  animal  matters  were  used. 

In  relation  to  these,  what  has  been  effected  by  the  Corporation  has  been — 

1.  The  entire  removal  of  the  privies  and  cesspools  which  existed  ten  or 
twelve  years  ago,  and  the  substitution  therefor  of  receptacles  which  are 
removed  at  such  short  intervals  that  no  time  is  allowed  for  the  decomposition 
of  their  contents,  so  that  nothing  injurious  from  this  source  is  now  sent  into 
the  atmosphere.  The  magnitude  of  the  operation  by  which  this  has  been 
effected  may  be  appreciated  by  the  statement  that  more  than  60,000  closets 
have  been  constructed  in  the  city  on  the  new  principle.  As  a  corollary  to  this 


17 


statement,  it  may  "be  mentioned  that  whereas  under  the  old  system  thousands 
of  tons  of  cesspool  contents  were  allowed  to  lie  heaped  together  in  depots 
within  the  city,  at  the  present  time  all  the  matters  removed  from  the  back 
premises  of  houses  are,  within  forty-eight  hours  of  removal,  converted  into 
valuable  odourless  and  innocuous  manure,  &c. 

2.  The  sweeping  of  the  streets,  courts,  passages,  &c.,  is  now  so  much 
improved,  so  much  more  thorough  than  it  was  a  few  years  ago,  that  the  same 
assertion  may  be  made  in  regard  to  organic  matters  lying  on  the  surface  of 
these,  that  they  never  remain  long  enough  to  decompose.  The  efficiency  of 
the  work  makes  Manchester  almost  the  best  swept  town  in  England. 

3.  The  construction  of  abattoirs  by  the  Corporation,  in  substitution  of  the 
numerous  private  slaughter-houses  that  once  were  thickly  dotted  over  the 
entire  area  of  the  city,  must  have  largely  contributed  to  keep  the  air  pure  from 
the  decomposing  matters  which  once  arose  from  these  dirty  and  ill-kept 
establishments,  whilst  the  careful  inspection,  with  the  removal  or  suppression  of 
some  of  the  manufactories  wherein  animal  matters  were  used,  by  the  officers 
and  committees  of  the  Corporation  have  still  further  tended  to  keep  the 
atmosphere  free  from  decomposing  matters. 

4.  Partly  allied  to  these  are  the  effluvia  from  the  rivers,  brooks,  and  drains 
that  traverse  the  city,  and  I  am  inclined  to  draw  a  broad  distinction  between 
the  first  of  these  and  the  resting  matters  of  which  I  have  spoken.  Rivers  and 
brooks  are  in  constant  motion,  and  it  is  only  behind  weirs,  where  a  partial 
arresting  of  that  motion  takes  place  and  solid  matters  become  deposited,  that 
any  decomposition  becomes  apparent,  for  it  is  only  at  these  points  that  a  single 
bubble  of  gas  can  be  collected. 

The  tendency  to  decomposition  of  the  organic*  contents  of  the  brooks  and 
rivers  must  also  be  largely  influenced  by  the  enormous  quantity  of  chemical 
matters,  acids,  alkalies,  and  especially  mineral  salts,  which  in  solution  are 
poured  into  them  both  within  and  above  the  city.  It  is  well  known  that  the 
tendency  of  these  bodies  is  to  check,  if  not  absolutely  to  stop  or  prevent, 
organic  decomposition.  The  chief  decomposable  matters  received  by  the 
rivers  will,  of  course,  be  from  the  sewers,  and  here  it  is  that  the  beneficial 
action  of  the  Corporation  in  regard  to  the  rivers  will  be  felt ;  for,  though  not 
so  far  interfering  directly  with  the  rivers,  yet  by  diverting  from  the  sewers  the 
enormous  quantity  of  urinal  and  foecal  matters,  which  would  under  former 
arrangements  find  their  way  into  the  rivers  from  more  than  70,000  closets, 
the  decomposable  matters  conveyed  into  the  streams  must  to  that  extent  be 
diminished. 

All  the  dirty  water  of  households  and  of  manufactories,  however,  finds  its 

way  into  the  sewers  and  the  streams,  and  in  spite  of  the  matters  withheld  from 

#  c 


the  closets,  and  of  the  acids  and  salts  which  tend  to  neutralise  the  contents  of 
the  streams,  yet  the  outpouring  of  10,000  water  closets  and  the  other  polluted 
waters  that  the  rivers  receive  do  give  to  them  an  odour  which,  though  entirely 
unlike  that  of  ordinary  decomposing  or  putrifying  animal  matter,  yet  must  to 
a  certain  extent  communicate  itself  to  the  atmosphere.  So  altered  is  the  odour 
from  the  chemical  action  to  which  the  matters  have  been  subjected  that  I 
cannot  recognise  in  it  the  ordinary  smell  of  animal  putrefaction,  and  I  am 
unable  to  say  what  may  be  its  specific  action  on  human  health.  Whatever  it 
be,  however,  the  action  of  the  Corporation  in  regard  to  the  closets  must  have 
largely  diminished  the  amount  of  it 

The  closing  of  burial  grounds  throughout  the  city  must  also  have  kept  out 
of  the  atmosphere  the  results  of  much  decomposition. 

The  other  impurities  of  the  Manchester  atmosphere  may  be  classed  as 
irritants,  chiefly  affecting  the  air  passages  of  the  lungs.  They  are  : — 

The  dust,  more  or  less  ferruginous,  raised  in  the  streets  by  winds  and 
incessant  traffic. 

The  dust  from  various  manufactories. 

Coal  smoke. 

Evolutions  of  irritating  gases  from  chemical  works. 

The  dust  of  the  streets  is  regulated  by  the  nature  of  the  pavement  and 
the  amount  of  watering  it  receives. 

The  muriatic  acid  from  alkali  works,  the  sulphuric  and  sulphurous  acids 
from  vitriol  works,  the  sulphurous  and  arsenical  fumes  from  copper  smelting 
works,  and  irritant  vapours^ from  many  manufactories,  must  at  one  time  have 
seriously  affected  the  atmosphere,  but  the  “  Alkali  Acts  ”  passed  in  recent  years 
in  progressive  stringency  have  placed  all  these  works  under  special  and  able 
inspection,  and  it  is  satis  factory  to  know  that  the  improved  methods  of  working 
have  practically  reduced  the  amount  of  acid  vapours  evolved  below  the  mini¬ 
mum  required  by  the  Acts. 

There  seems  to  remain,  then,  but  the  coal  smoke  which  hangs  as  a  constant 
canopy  over  the  city  as  a  considerable  polluter  of  the  external  atmosphere. 
The  action  of  coal  smoke  is  two-fold.  Its  solid  particles  which  give  it  colour 
consist  of  charcoal,  bitumen,  resin,  and  salts  of  ammonia,  with  a  little  naphtha¬ 
line.  This  is  the  visible  part  of  the  smoke  existing  in  exceedingly  minute 
particles  which  are  drawn  into  the  lungs  with  every  inspiration.  It  is 
impossible  but  they  must  irritate  the  air  passages,  and  where  lesion  of  the 
lungs  exists  effect  actual  and  permanent  lodgment.  To  asthmatical  or 
bronchitic  people  an  atmosphere  laden  with  such  particles  must  be  very 
injurious,  and  even  to  the  healthy  the  constant  inhalation  of  such  particles 


19 


must  be  very  prejudicial.  But  in  addition  to  these,  coal  smoke  contains 
sulphuretted  hydrogen  and  sulphurous  acid.  The  latter  is  an  irritant,  but  the 
sulphuretted  hydrogen,  which*  exists  in  sufficient  quantity  to  produce  a  rapid 
tarnishing  of  silver  exposed  to  the  air  of  the  streets,  has  a  poisonous  and 
depressing  effect  which  must  more  or  less  give  a  sombre  tone  to  the  mind,  an 
enfeebled,  wearied,  and  depressed  feeling  to  the  body,  and  possibly  by  this 
reduced  vital  power  predispose  the  system  to  take  on  disease.  How  much 
may  the  intemperance  which  we  so  much  deplore  in  men,  and  still  more  in 
women,  be  an  effort  to  cast  off  the  depression  produced  by  this  dark  canopy  ? 
How  much  does  the  interception  of  the  sun’s  rays  by  this  dark  shadow  lessen 
our  happiness  and  impair  our  health  ? 

That  a  considerable  diminution  in  the  density  of  the  smoke  poured  into  the 
city  atmosphere  has  taken  place  within  the  last  few  years  must  be  obvious  to 
any  one  whose  acquaintance  with  Manchester  extends  over  a  considerable 
period. 

The  Corporation  has  indeed,  by  successive  regulations  of  increased  stringency, 
and  by  the  employment  of  additional  inspectors,  endeavoured  to  diminish  this 
monster  evil.  A  few  years  ago  black  smoke  was  allowed  to  be  emitted  from 
the  chimneys  of  manufactories  during  four  minutes  in  each  half  hour,  before 
legal  proceedings  were  taken.  At  the  present  time  black  smoke  is  not  allowed 
to  be  emitted  for  more  than  one  minute  in  thirty. 

If  the  progress  of  smoke  abatement  has  been  less  rapid  than  could  have  been 
wished,  it  has  sprung  from  a  feeling  of  hesitancy  to  interfere  with  the  manu¬ 
factories  on  which  the  welfare  of  the  city  depends,  and  from  insufficient 
confidence  in  the  contrivances  which  have  been  brought  forward  to  effect  the 
consumption  of  smoke.  The  last  exhibition  of  apparatus  for  the  consumption  of 
smoke,  however,  marked  a  distinct  advance  in  the  arrangements  for  this  purpose. 
I  am  informed  by  a  member  of  the  Health  Committee  that  a  great  extension  in 
the  use  of  gas  engines  up  to  50  horse  power  has  taken  place  recently.  As  these 
engines  do  away  with  the  necessity  for  a  boiler,  and,  requiring  no  chimney,  give 
off  no  smoke,  it  is  probable  that  on  these  accounts  as  well  as  their  utility,  where 
economy  of  space  is  important,  they  will  rapidly  come  into  general  use,  and 
will  possibly  be  so  far  improved  as  to  be  applicable  where  still  greater  power 
is  required. 

Where  great  heat  is  required  and  vast  machinery  is  to  be  moved  Siemens’ 
furnaces  will  supply  the  necessary  power.  These  furnaces  produce  no  smoke, 
and  require  very  short  chimneys,  and  can  be  applied  not  only  for  the  produc¬ 
tion  of  steam,  but  in  many  operations,  as  iron  puddling,  gas  manufacture,  &c., 
where,  under  the  old  system,  great  volumes  of  smoke  would  be  emitted.  In 
speaking  of  Siemens’  furnaces  I  am  not  unaware  that  several  modifications  have 
been  proposed  and  patented,  which  may  be  improvements,  but  the  great 


20 


principles  on  which  these  furnaces  are  constructed  were  first  enunciated  and 
applied  by  the  Messrs.  Siemens.  Taking  into  consideration  the  extended 
applicability  of  gas  engines,  the  power  afforded  by  furnaces  constructed  on  the 
Siemens’  principle,  and  the  improvements  in  arrangements  for  the  consumption 
of  smoke,  as  applied  to  ordinary  furnaces,  exhibited  at  the  last  great  exhibition 
in  Manchester,  it  can  scarcely  be  said  that  even  at  the  present  time  means  do 
not  exist  for  the  entire  suppression  of  the  smoke  nuisance. 

In  treating  of  this  subject  we  cannot  overlook  the  great  fact  looming  in  the 
future  that  electricity  as  a  source  of  power  is  destined  to  play  a  great  part  in 
our  manufactures.  The  time  cannot  be  far  distant  when  the  inhabitants  of 
Manchester,  if  they  cannot  breathe  a  pure,  will  at  any  rate  breathe  a  less 
fuliginous  atmosphere. 

To  the  pollutions  of  the  atmosphere  ought,  of  course,  to  be  added  the  mixed 
effluvia,  gaseous  or  otherwise,  of  sewers.  From  their  composition  and  warmth 
these  are  somewhat  lighter  than  the  atmosphere,  and  naturally  seek  the  highest 
outlet.  The  Corporation  has  therefore  constructed  a  large  number  of  shafts  at 
the  highest  points  of  the  sewage  system,  and  by  these  a  large  amount  of  sewer 
gases  is  delivered  into  the  atmosphere  at  so  considerable  an  altitude  as  to  subject 
the  gases  to  the  distributing  action  of  the  winds,  by  which  they  will  become 
diffused  and  decomposed,  that  is,  oxidised. 

From  the  outside  of  the  houses  we  go  into  the  inside,  and  still  have  to  do 
with  the  atmosphere.  In  the  absence  of  sewer  gases,  a  foul  atmosphere  in  a 
house  is  the  result  of  dirt,  of  person,  clothing,  furniture,  or  material  of  con¬ 
struction,  and  usually  of  all  these  together.  Where  dirt  exists  the  air  is  usually 
but  little  and  unfrequently  changed,  and  it  becomes  additionally  charged  with 
emanations  from  the  skin  and  from  the  lungs,  and  there  is  often  superadded  to 
this  the  floating  poison  of  infectious  disease.  Cleanliness  and  ventilation  are 
here  the  great  requisites.  The  Corporation  has  provided  abundance  of  water 
for  cleanliness,  and  has  so  purified  the  air  that  it  is  infinitely  better  without  than 
it  is  within.  It  has  done  more  ;  it  has  provided  that  rooms  shall  be  of  a  certain 
size,  and  that  as  regards  some  of  the  dwellings  only  a  certain  number  of  persons 
shall  live  within  a  certain  cubic  area.  It  has  insisted  on  a  yard  of  70  square 
feet  to  eaeh  house,  on  5ft.  passages  between  the  backs  of  rows  of  houses,  of 
24ft.  distance  between  the  backs  themselves,  of  a  separate  closet  to  each  house 
and  yard  ;  but  it  has  not  required  that  the  foundations  of  the  house  shall  be  dry, 
that  all  drains  shall  be  outside  the  dwelling,  and,  I  was  going  to  say,  that  all 
walls  shall  be  well  built,  but,  when  I  recollect  that  the  mud  which  used  to 
pass  for  mortar  is  replaced  by  the  mortar  of  the  Manchester  Corporation,  which 
sets  like  iron  and  is  almost  impermeable  to  moisture,  I  temper  the  expression, 
though  the  quality  of  the  bricks  and  the  thickness  of  the  walls  leave  much  to 
be  desired. 


21 


The  requirements  I  have  cited  are  for  houses  erected  after  a  certain  date,  and 
occupying  the  newer  parts  of  the  city.  The  old  houses  are  the  worst,  occu¬ 
pying  the  central  parts  of  the  city.  A  large  portion  have  no  yards,  have  no 
passage  through  them ;  when  in  rows  have  small  intervening  spaces  at 
the  back  ;  the  houses  are  dilapidated  and  the  walls  and  ceilings  and  floors  are 
saturated  with  the  dirt  and  exhalations  of  a  succession  of  human  beings  for  a 
century. 

Well!  what  has  the  Corporation  done  for  these ?  It  has  closed  all  the  cellars 
underneath  them  used  for  dwellings.  It  has  from  time  to  time  picked  out  the 
worst  and  closed  them  as  unfit  for  human  habitation.  It  lias  required  others 
to  be  put  into  better  repair,  and  has  closed  them  in  the  meantime.  It  must 
be  said,  however,  that  the  extinguishment  of  houses  unfit  for  human  habitation 
by  the  Corporation  has  been  surpassed  in  amount  by  that  resulting  from  private 
enterprise.  The  exigencies  of  commerce,  particularly  as  developed  by  railway 
enterprise,  have  led  to  the  destruction  of  a  very  large  number  of  the  worst 
houses  in  the  central  portions  of  the  cityr ;  but  a  large  number  also  still  remain, 
and  call  for  the  action  of  the  Corporation. 

The  Artizans  and  Labourers  Dwellings  Act  was  intended  to  meet  the 
disturbance  of  population  caused  by  the  extension,  more  especially  of  railway 
accommodation  in  the  form  of  large  stations,  which  had  displaced  great 
numbers  of  working  men  in  London,  who  had  difficulty  in  finding  homes.  It 
was  afterwards  extended  to  large  towns,  with  a  view  to  the  voluntary 
destruction  of  groups  of  insanitary  houses,  and  the  building  on  their  sites,  or 
near  to  them,  of  good  and  wholesome  dwellings,  at  rents  to  place  them  within 
the  reach  of  the  poorest.  Certain  areas  were  tested  in  London,  Liverpool, 
Birmingham,  and  other  large  towns,  but  with  results  entailing  so  heavy  a 
pecuniary  loss  on  the  corporate  bodies  who  made  the  experiments  that  an 
entire  discontinuance  of  the  use  of  the  Act  has  followed,  and  it  is  now 
practically  a  dead  letter. 

Extensive  inquiries  were  made  by  the  Health  Committee  as  to  the  success 
of  certain  masses  or  blocks  of  buildings  constructed  with  a  view  to  health  and 
economy  in  London  and  Liverpool,  and  in  some  other  towns.  These  buildings 
were  erected  by  private  enterprise,  or  private  benevolence,  but  the  early  results, 
both  in  a  sanitary  and  pecuniary  sense,  were  scarcely  encouraging.  Later 
annual  reports,  however,  have  furnished  more  satisfactory  statements,  both  as 
to  the  rate  of  mortality  within  these  buildings  and  of  the  interest  that  they 
pay. 

The  sanitary  condition  of  the  dwellings  of  the  people,  together  with  the  best 
modes  of  ameliorating  the  state  of  the  worst  houses,  or  otherwise  disposing  of 
them,  was  very  fully  considered  by  the  Health  Committee  in  1878 ;  and  a 


22 


report  was  drawn  up  by  the  Officer  of  Health  embodying  the  results  of  his  own 
inquiries,  and  those  of  the  Health  Committee,  which  was  printed  in  extenso 
in  the  same  year,  accompanied  by  an  illustrative  map. 

As  the  experience  acquired  in  the  towns  which  put  into  operation  the 
Artizans  and  Labourers  Dwellings  Act,  and  those  in  which  experimental  blocks 
of  buildings  were  raised,  has  been  considerably  enlarged  since  1878,  it  is 
desirable  that  the  whole  subject  should  be  reinvestigated. 

The  most  extensive  reconstruction  of  dwellings  in  any  part  of  the  United 
Kingdom  has  been  in  Glasgow ;  and,  as  the  mortality  of  that  city  has  been 
considerably  reduced  since  our  last  inquiry,  it  would  be  well  to  make  a  visit 
to  Glasgow  ere  long,  or  at  any  rate  to  obtain  fresh  information  as  to  the  result 
of  the  alterations. 

I  have  said  that  an  occasional  local  impurity  of  the  atmosphere  is  furnished 
by  the  floating  germs  of  infectious  disease.  At  this  day  no  one  believes  that 
the  exciting  cause  or  causes  of  such  diseases  as  scarlet  fever,  smallpox,  typhus 
or  typhoid  fever,  whooping  cough,  or  measles  exist  as  mere  gases  or  vapours  of 
the  simple  composition  of  the  gases  or  vapours  known  to  chemists.  It  is 
believed  by  physiologists  and  pathologists  that  these  poisons  are  germs  each  of 
a  special  nature,  capable  of  reproducing  themselves  with  great  rapidity  when 
received  into  the  human  body  by  inhalation  or  otherwise,  and  of  producing  the 
specific  diseases  of  which  they  are  themselves  the  products.  It  cannot  be  said 
that  to  a  large  extent  these  germs  have  been  physioally  identified;  but, 
inasmuch  as  there  are  entire  living  animals,  with  all  their  complex  parts  and 
organisations,  which  the  highest  powers  of  the  microscope  have  only  just  ren¬ 
dered  visible,  it  may  well  be  said  that  the  poison  germs  of  the  above-mentioned 
diseases  are  far  too  minute  for  ocular  demonstration  by  any  powers  that  we  as 
yet  possess.  Nevertheless,  their  properties  are  such  as  to  lead  us  to  believe 
that  they  are  organic  if  not  organised  structures,  and  perhaps  of  the  nature  of 
ferments. 

Outside  their  power  of  reproducing  themselves  and  establishing  certain 
forms  of  disease,  their  most  important  property  to  us,  and  which  is  in  accord¬ 
ance  with  the  known  properties  of  animal  and  vegetable  ferments,  is  that 
of  their  amenity  to  the  action  of  certain  re-agents  and  of  heat,  by  which  their 
composition  or  condition  is  altered  and  they  are  rendered  innocuous.  Such 
re-agents  are  carbolic  acid,  creosote,  certain  mineral  salts,  heat,  chlorine,  sul¬ 
phurous  acid,  &e.  The  first  list  probably  act  by  coagulating  the  albumen  of 
the  organic  poisons,  and  the  latter  by  effecting  an  actual  chemical  change 
within  them,  and  so  rendering  them  inert.  It  is  on  these  properties  that  our 
power  over  them  exists.  Our  staff  of  disinfectors  liberate,  in  the  houses  where 
they  exist,  chlorine,  sulphurous  acid,  arid  carbolic  acid,  and  convey  away  from 


23 


the  houses  all  moveable  infected  articles,  chiefly  clothing  and  bedding,  and  in 
a  specially  constructed  oven  subject  them  to  a  temperature  considerably  above 
that  of  boiling  water,  by  which  the  poison  germs  are  destroyed.  But,  as  an 
infected  person  is  continually  giving  out,  by  his  breath,  perspiration,  and 
excretions,  these  poison  germs  to  the  danger  of  all  around  him,  he  also  is 
removed  to  a  special  hospital,  where  his  chance  of  recovery  is  improved  and 
his  danger  to  others  destroyed. 

At  the  time  of  the  formation  of  the  Health  Committee  the  medical  insti¬ 
tutions  of  Manchester  had  fallen  into  desuetude  for  cases  of  infectious  disease. 
The  old  House  of  Recovery  in  Aytoun  Street,  which  once  held  about  100  beds, 
had  been  sold  and  pulled  down,  and  the  Manchester  Infirmary,  alone  of  all 
the  institutions  in  Manchester,  professed  to  take  in  infectious  cases  ;  but  the 
danger  from  this  was  so  great  that  practically  no  cases  were  admitted  until 
insisted  on  by  the  Health  Committee.  The  inconvenience  and  danger  were 
such  that  they  led  to  the  erection  of  Monsall  Hospital,  which  was  founded  by 
a  former  mayor  of  Manchester,  and  from  its  origin  has  been  largely  supported 
by  the  Corporation.  This  hospital  and  its  appendages  afford  accommodation 
for  all  the  adult  cases  of  infectious  disease  in  Manchester.  Some  few  cases  of 
children  are  admitted,  but  these  chiefly  find  their  way  to  the  Children’s 
Hospital  at  Pendlebury,  which  is  also  largely  supported  by  the  Corporation. 
When  all  these  requirements  were  supplied,  there  was  still  the  difficulty  of 
obtaining  information  respecting  the  occurrence  of  the  cases  of  infectious 
disease.  Some  medical  men,  feeling  the  desirability  of  removal  of  some  of  the 
persons  resident  in  unwholesome  localities,  or  in  crowded  houses,  spontaneously 
communicated  the  information,  and  assisted  the  officers  of  the  Health  Depart¬ 
ment  in  facilitating  the  removal.  Besides  this,  the  officers  of  the  department, 
when  disinfecting  a  house,  made  careful  inquiries  respecting  the  existence  of 
other  infected  houses  in  the  neighbourhood.  Still  it  was  felt  that  a  great 
number  of  cases  must  occur  of  which  the  department  never  received  any 
information  whatever,  except  when  the  diseases  proved  fatal,  when  the  Regis¬ 
trar’s  certificate  afforded  the  first  information. 

The  Corporation  sought  the  powers  conferred  by  the  Registration  of  Diseases 
Act,  under  which  the  medical  attendant  on  any  infectious  case,  and  the 
occupier  of  the  house  in  which  it  occurred,  were  required  to  give  immediate 
information  to  the  Officer  of  Health.  That  this  Act,  in  its  ultimate  results, 
will  be  of  the  utmost  importance  there  can  be  no  doubt,  but  it  has  so  recently 
come  into  operation  that  it  is  too  early  to  say  more  about  it  than  that  the 
arrangements  for  the  working  of  it  appear  to  be  in  every  way  satisfactory. 

It  may  be  well  to  say  that  after  the  patient  has  been  removed  from  an 
infected  house  by  the  Health  Officers,  as  also  the  bedding,  clothes,  &c.,  have 
been  removed  for  disinfection,  and  the  premises  have  been  thoroughly  treated 


24 


with  chlorine,  carbolic  acid,  &c.,  and  afterwards  swept  by  a  free  current  of 
air,  the  wall  papers,  if  any,  are  stripped  from  the  walls  ;  the  walls,  floors,  &c. , 
dressed  with  a  solution  of  caustic  soda,  and  the  whole  house  afterwards 
thoroughly  cleaned.  So  complete  is  the  disinfection,  and  so  thorough  the 
cleansing,  that  it  is  a  very  rare  circumstance  for  an  infectious  disease  to 
break  out  a  second  time  during  the  prevalence  of  the  same  epidemic. 

For  the  removal  of  patients  to  hospital  the  Corporation  has  provided  a  most 
comfortable  ambulance  or  carriage,  fitted  up  with  a  bed  for  the  patient  to  lie 
on,  and  furnished  with  all  conveniences.  The  officers  also  personally  effect 
the  removal  of  the  patients,  taking  all  trouble  upon  themselves. 

This,  perhaps,  is  the  best  place  to  say  that  the  duties  of  the  Health  Depart¬ 
ment  in  effecting  the  removal  of  patients  have  been  rendered  much  less 
difficult  than  they  otherwise  might  have  been  by  the  extreme  kindness  and 
sympathy  displayed  towards  the  patients,  on  their  arrival  at  and  residence  in 
hospital,  by  the  hospital  staff.  The  patients  usually,  on  return  to  their  homes, 
are  loud  in  their  expressions  of  gratitude  to  the  medical  officers  and  nurses 
under  whose  care  they  have  been.  In  addition  to  the  ambulance,  or  carriage 
for  patients,  the  Corporation  has  also  provided  two  commodious  vans  capable 
of  being  tightly  closed,  one  for  the  conveyance  of  infected  clothing, 
bedding,  &c.,  to  the  disinfecting  oven,  the  other  for  the  return  of  the 
disinfected  articles. 

Altogether,  it  is  probable  that  in  no  town  in  the  kingdom  do  there  exist 
better  or  more  efficient  arrangements  for  the  sanitary  treatment  of  infectious 
disease,  whether  on  sudden  outbreak  or  in  its  endemic  form  ;  and  still,  as  I 
have  endeavoured  to  show,  further  efforts  and  provisions  will  be  necessary 
if  we  must  effectually  grapple  with  those  forms  which  especially  affect 
children,  and  add  so  largely  to  our  rate  of  mortality. 

I  have  endeavoured  thus  briefly  to  show  how  much  has  been  done  for  the 
sanitary  welfare  of  the  city,  within  a  few  years,  by  the  Corporation  which 
represents  its  interests,  that  the  efforts  have  been  and  are  continuous,  and 
they  must  of  necessity  go  on  till  all  that  can  render  a  population  such  as 
ours  as  healthy  as  is  consistent  with  its  social  condition  has  been  accom¬ 
plished.  I  wish  it  were  possible  to  make  the  people  themselves  conscious 
of  how  much  they  could  do  by  personal  effort  to  better  their  health  and  to 
better  their  condition.  The  curse  of  the  time  is,  and  has  been,  drink.  Drink 
is  the  demon  which  largely  neutralises  our  best  efforts,  which  makes  the 
homes  of  our  people  squalid,  the  men  and  the  women  poor  in  physical  and 
moral  health,  and  is  the  cause  that  thousands  of  the  helpless  children  born 
to  them  are  swept  into  the  grave  Avho  might  otherwise  have  lived  to  be, 
perchance,  the  strength  and  the  ornament  of  their  country,

Sewers 

The  foundation  rocks  on  which  the  subsoil  rests  are  the  outcropping  edges 
of  the  upper  members  of  the  Manchester  coalfield,  including  the  coalfields 
of  Blackley,  Clayton,  and  Bradford,  and  these  rise  immediately  from  under 
the  Permian  sandstone  which  is  exhibited  in  the  sand  delph  of  Sir  E.  Buckley, 
at  Collyhurst. 

The  slope  of  the  land  is  to  Collyhurst  Street  and  to  Moston  Brook. 

The  middle  of  the  district  is  traversed  by  Moston  Brook,  which  runs  nearly 
south  west  from  the  boundary  of  the  city,  and  empties  itself  into  the  Irk  at 
the  lower  end  of  Collyhurst  Road.  The  brook  has  recently  been  arched  over, 
the  valley  filled  up,  and  the  soil  built  upon.  This  brook  now  constitutes  the 
principal  sewer  of  the  district.  All  the  streets  contiguous  to  Queen’s  Road 
are  drained  into  the  Queen’s  Road  sewer,  which  ruus  along  Queen’s  Road  from 
the  Railway  Station  as  far  as  the  tip,  and  then  passes  down  Culvert  Street  to 
the  eye  in  Churnet  Street,  where  it  discharges  itself  into  the  Brook.  The 
Queen’s  Road  sewer  at  the  end  of  Wilberforce  Terrace,  in  No.  2  District, 
is  30ft.  deep,  and  the  Churnet  Street  sewer,  which  also  empties  itself  into 
the  eye  at  Churnet  Street,  is  19ft.  deep  ;  the  eye  itself  is  21ft.  deep.  The 
sewer  which  runs  down  Turkey  Lane  and  along  Andrew  Street  into  Queen’s 
Road  sewer  drains  all  the  streets  between  Rochdale  Road  and  Andrew  Street ; 
and  the  sewers  of  the  streets  between  Moston  Brook  and  Rochdale  Road  run 
indirectly  into  the  Culvert  Street  sewer.  Every  part  of  the  district  is  favour¬ 
ably  situated  for  water-fall,  as  the  ground  rapidly  rises  from  Collyhurst  Street 
to  Turkey  Lane,  from  Collyhurst  Street  to  Oldham  Road,  and  from  Collyhurst 
Street,  Oldham  Road,  to  Queen’s  Road,  or  Lamb  Lane,  in  Oldham  Road. 
There  is  also  a  gradual  descent  in  Queen’s  Road,  both  from  east  and  west,  to 
Moston  Brook.

Houses 

The  whole  of  the  houses  have  been  built  since  1850,  and  a  considerable 
portion  since  1870.  The  only  exceptions  are  two  small  blocks  in  Queen’s 
Road. 

There  is  no  court  or  occupied  passage  in  the  district. 

'file  width  of  the  streets  varies  from  24ft.  to  44ft.  ;  by  far  the  largest 
number  being  over  30ft.,  in  accordance  with  the  bye-law  of  the  Council 
of  the  city  of  Manchester,  1868,  which  require  a  width  of  30ft.  for  every 
street  after  the  date  thereof,  the  houses  in  which  shall  not  exceed  two  stories. 
Each  house  erected  since  1868  has  an  open  yard  or  area  containing  at  least 
70  square  feet,  in  accordance  with  bye-law  No.  11. 

The  passages  between  the  lines  of  yards  since  1868  are  5ft.  wide,  in 
accordance  with  bye-law  No.  12.  There  is  also  a  space  of  24ft.  between  the 
backs  of  the  houses,  in  accordance  with  the  said  bye-law. 

The  streets  generally  have  been  paved  and  sewered  and  are  for  the  most 
part  in  good  condition.  The  houses  as  a  rule  are  built  without  cellars  or 
ventilating  spaces  under  the  floors  ;  they  rise  in  fact  directly  from  the  ground. 
The  outside  walls  are  9in.  thick  and  the  inside  walls  4^  in.  thick.  A 
considerable  number  have  bay  windows  in  the  front  rooms.  Houses  thus 
constructed  cannot  be  otherwise  than  damp.  The  absence  of  any  provision  to 
prevent  the  moisture  of  the  ground  rising  into  the  walls  and  the  thinness  of 
the  latter  (affording  so  little  defence  against  rain)  prevent  the  interior  being 
ever  so  dry  as  a  house  should  be.  From  the  want  of  subjacent  ventilation 
anv  emanation  from  the  soil  must  find  immediate  vent  into  the  houses. 

* j 

The  streets  enumerated  within  this  district  contain,  according  to  actual  count¬ 
ing  in  each  individual  street,  1,841  houses  (Battoiv).  The  number  contained  in 
the  Overseers’  books  for  the  year  1880-81  was  1,830,  of  which  312  were 
unoccupied,  leaving  1,518  as  tenanted  houses.

Data  Population 

The  average  number  of  persons  per  house  for  the  entire  city  of  Man¬ 


chester,  according  to  the  census  of  1881,  was .  5-01 

For  the  township  of  Manchester  .  4-95 

For  the  registration  sub-district  of  St.  George’s  .  4 ‘82 

As  No.  1  Sanitary  District  contained,  according  to  the  Overseers’  books 
for  the  current  year,  1,518  inhabited  houses,  this  number  multiplied 

by  5  01  will  give  as  the  number  of  inhabitants  .  7,605 

Multiplied  by  4’95  the  number  will  be  .  7,514 

Multiplied  by  4 '82  the  number  will  be  .  7,316 

The  mean  of  these  three  estimates  is  .  7,478 


Which  will  tolerably  represent  the  population  of  the  district. 

A  large  part  of  the  male  population  is  employed  by  the  Lancashire  and 
Yorkshire  Kail  way  Company,  which  has  very  extensive  works  in  the  neigh¬ 
bourhood  ;  these  persons  chiefly  reside  on  the  eastern  side  of  the  district. 
The  west  central  part  is  occupied  by  mechanics,  joiners,  clerks,  and  warehouse¬ 
men  ;  the  western  boundary  chiefly  by  shopkeepers.

Mortality 

From  26tli  December,  1879,  to  23rd  December,  1880,  inclusive,  the  total  number  of 
deaths  in  the  district  from  all  causes,  in  the  homes  of  the  people,  was  203. 

Death  Rate 

According  to  the  population  estimated  by  the  average,  city  rate  of  occupa¬ 


tion  203  deaths  would  give  a  rate  per  1,000  of .  26 ’69 

According  to  the  township  rate  of  occupation  .  27 ‘01 

According  to  the  registration  sub-district  rate  .  27*74 

The  mean  of  these  three  estimates  of  population  . . .  27*14

Sewers 

The  foundation  rocks  on  which  the  subsoil  rests  are  the  outcropping  edges 
of  the  upper  members  of  the  Manchester  coalfield,  including  the  coalfields  of 
Blackley,  Clayton,  and  Bradford.  These  rise  immediately  from  under  the 
Permian  sandstone  which  is  exhibited  in  the  sand  delph  of  Sir  E.  Buckley,  at 
Collyhurst. 

The  slope  of  the  eastern  half  of  the  district  is  towards  Collyhurst  Street, 
and  the  western  half  of  the  district,  which  is  traversed  by  the  Moston  Brook, 
slopes  towards  it.  The  brook  now  constitutes  the  principal  server  of  the  district ; 
it  has  recently  been  arched  over,  the  valley  filled  up,  and  the  soil  built  upon. 
The  short  streets  in  the  northern  part  of  the  district  are  drained  into  the 
Queen’s  Road  sewer,  which  is  30ft.  deep  at  the  end  of  Wilberforce  Terrace. 
This  sewer  runs  along  Queen’s  Road  from  the  Railway  Station  to  the  tip ;  it 
then  drains  the  streets  on  the  west  of  the  brook,  and  passes  into  the  brook  at 
the  eye  in  Churnet  Street  and  Culvert  Street.  The  eye  itself  is  21ft.  deep. 

Churnet  Street  sewer  commences  at  the  railway  in  Churnet  Street,  and 
receives  the  contents  of  the  sewers  from  its  north  side  principally ;  only  short 
lengths  run  into  it  from  the  south  side.  It  flows  into  the  eye  in  Churnet 
Street  at  a  depth  of  19ft.  The  Collyhurst  Street  sewer  stands  next  in  import¬ 
ance  to  Moston  Brook,  into  which  it  falls  as  it  passes  along  Rochdale  Road  to 
the  bridge  at  Hall’s  Crescent.  The  North  Kent  Street  sewer  flows  into  the 
Collyhurst  Street  sewer  after  having  received  the  flow  of  the  sewers  in  Gay 
Street,  Paley  Street,  and  Charlton  Street,  along  with  the  smaller  sewers  that 
flow  into  them  from  a  north  and  south  direction.  The  Collyhurst  Street  sewer 
is  16ft  deep  at  the  Oldham  Road  end  and  20ft.  deep  at  the  Rochdale  Road 
end.  Owing  to  the  regular  inclines  of  the  district  it  presents  very  favourable 
conditions  for  drainage,  for  Rochdale  Road  descends  on  each  side  of  Hall’s 
Crescent  Bridge,  and  Queen’s  Road  descends  on  each  side  towards  the  Culvert 
Street  sewer,  whilst  Oldham  Road  and  Collyhurst  Street  have  each  a  very 
decided  inclination  in  the  most  favourable  direction.

Houses 

Nearly  half  of  the  houses  in  this  district  have  been  built  since  1870,  and 
more  than  three-fourths  since  1850  ;  the  remainder  since  1830. 

There  are  some  back-to-back  houses  in  a  court  called  Berry’s  Buildings,  in 
Wilberforce  Street,  Queen’s  Road,  and  there  is  some  old  property  in  Clough 
Street  and  Percival  Street. 

The  width  of  the  streets  ranges  from  41ft.  lOin.  to  15ft.;  the  greater 
number  of  them  being  30ft.  or  more,  in  accordance  with  the  bye-law  of  the 
Council  of  the  city  of  Manchester,  1868,  which  requires  a  width  of  30ft.  for 
every  street  after  the  date  thereof,  the  houses  in  which  shall  not  exceed  two 
stories.  Each  house  erected  since  1868  has  an  open  yard  or  area  containing  at 
least  70  square  feet,  in  accordance  with  byedaw  No.  11. 

The  passages  vary  in  width.  Those  passing  through  the  newly-erected 
property  are  wide ;  but  the  passages  of  the  property  which  was  built  prior  to 
1868  are  narrow,  and  in  many  cases  the  space  between  the  backs  of  the  houses 
is  small  and  insufficient. 

The  streets  are  for  the  most  part  paved  and  sewered  and  in  good  condition. 
The  houses  are  without  cellars,  except  in  the  principal  roads  and  streets,  and 
have  no  ventilating  spaces  under  the  floors.  They  rise  directly  from  the 
ground  The  outside  walls  are  9in.  thick,  and  the  inside  walls  are  4^-in.  thick. 
A  few  have  bay  windows  in  the  front  rooms. 

The  streets  enumerated  within  this  district  contain,  according  to  actual 
counting,  2,460  houses  ( Bastoiv ).  The  number  contained  in  the  Overseers’ 
books  for  the  year  1880-81  was  2,477,  of  which  339  were  unoccupied,  leaving 
2,138  as  inhabited  houses.

Data  Population 

The  average  number  of  persons  per  house  for  the  entire  city  of  Man¬ 


chester,  according  to  the  census  of  1881,  was .  5*01 

For  the  township  of  Manchester  .  4*95 

For  the  registration  sub-district  of  St.  George’s  . .  4*82 

As  No.  2  Sanitary  District  contained,  according  to  the  Overseers’  books 
for  the  current  year,  2,138  inhabited  houses,  this  number  multiplied 

by  5 ‘01  will  give  as  the  number  of  inhabitants  . 10,711 

Multiplied  by  4*95  the  number  will  be  . 10,583 

Multiplied  by  4*82  the  number  will  be  . 10,305 

The  mean  of  these  three  estimates  is  . 10,533 


Which  will  tolerably  represent  the  population  of  the  district. 

A  considerable  part  of  the  male  population  is  employed  by  the  Lancashire 
and  Yorkshire  Railway  Company,  which  has  very  extensive  works  in  the 
neighbourhood.  The  western  boundary  is  chiefly  occupied  by  shopkeepers 
and.  persons  who  have  business  in  the  city.  The  remaining  part  of  the  district 
is  occupied  by  joiners,  clerks,  and  warehousemen.

deaths  in  the  district  from  all  causes,  in  the  homes  of  the  people,  was  217. 


Death  Rate 

According  to  the  population  estimated  by  the  average  city  rate  of  occupa¬ 


tion  217  deaths  would  give  a  rate  per  1,000  of  .  20‘25 

According  to  the  township  rate  of  occupation  .  20 ’50 

According  to  the  registration  sub-district  rate  .  2 1  ’05

Sewers 

This  district  is  chiefly  drained  by  three  main  sewers.  The  first  of  these 
flows  northwards  up  Oldham  Road,  and  turns  down  Collyhurst  Street  and 
Rochdale  Road  into  Moss  Brook ;  the  sewers  of  the  small  streets  in  the 
northern  half  of  the  district  flow  into  this  in  Oldham  Road,  in  Collyhurst 
Street,  and  in  Rochdale  Road. 

The  second  main  sewer  flows  along  Osborne  Street  and  down  Rochdale 
Road  and  Buckley  Street  into  the  river  Irk;  J unction  Street  sewer  and  Back 
Cropper  Street,  with  their  attendant  minor  sewers,  fall  into  it  in  Osborne 
Street. 

The  third  main  sewer  runs  down  Oldham  Road,  and  Birt  Street  sewer  runs 
into  it. 

The  southern  part  of  the  district  enclosed  by  Osborne  Street  and  Reather 
Street  is  drained  by  Sudell  Street  sewer  and  New  Allen  Street  sewer  ;  these 
flow  southwards  into  No.  4  District. 

As  a  rule,  the  fall  of  the  sewers  corresponds  with  the  slope  of  the  land.  If 

a  line  be  drawn  through  the  district  from  Rochdale  Road  through  Franklin 

>  „ 

Street  to  St.  George’s  Schools  in  Oldham  Road,  it  will  represent  the  highest 
part  of  the  district ;  the  sewers  consequently  fall  from  this  line  to  Reather 
Street  on  the  south  side  and  to  Collyhurst  Street  on  the  north. 

Houses 

The  greater  part  of  the  houses  in  this  district  have  been  erected  since  1850, 
and  most  of  the  remainder  have  been  built  since  1830.  In  Oldham  Road 
some  of  the  houses  date  before  1830,  but  they  are  very  old  and  dilapidated  for 
the  most  part. 

The  houses  in  Phillip’s  Court,  Bullock’s  Buildings,  Horrock’s  Buildings, 
Hampson’s  Court,  and  Bentley’s  Place  are  not  suitable  places  for  human 
habitation ;  the  rooms  are  small  and  damp,  and  the  air  is  confined  by  the 
narrowness  of  the  courts. 

The  width  of  the  streets  varies  from  42ft.  to  7ft.  6in.,  and  the  greater 
number  of  them  are  24ft.  wide,  that  is,  6ft.  narrower  than  is  required  by 
the  bye-law  of  the  Council  of  the  city  of  Manchester,  1868,  which  requires 
a  width  of  30ft.  for  every  street  after  the  date  thereof,  the  houses  in  which 
shall  not  exceed  two  stories. 

The  yards  of  the  houses  are  small,  the  passages  are  narrow,  and  in  many 
cases  the  space  between  the  backs  of  the  houses  is  small  and  insufficient. 


71 


The  streets  are  for  the  most  part  paved  and  sewered,  and  in  good  condition. 
The  houses  are  without  cellars,  except  in  the  principal  roads  and  streets,  and 
have  no  ventilating  spaces  under  the  floors;  they  rise  directly  from  the  ground. 
The  outside  walls  are  9in.  ‘thick,  and  the  inside  walls  are  4£in.  thick.  A 
few  have  bay  windows  in  the  front  rooms. 

The  streets  enumerated  within  this  district  contain,  according  to  actual 
counting,  1,869  houses  (. Bastow ).  The  number  contained  in  the  Overseers’ 
books  for  the  year  1880-81  is  1,862,  of  which  95  are  unoccupied,  leaving  1,767 
as  inhabited  houses.

Data  Population 

The  average  number  of  persons  per  house  for  the  entire  city  of 


Manchester,  according  to  the  census  of  1881,  was .  5’01 

For  the  township  of  Manchester .  4*95 

For  the  registration  sub-district  of  St.  George’s  .  4’82 

As  No.  3  Sanitary  District  contained,  according  to  the  Overseers’ 
books  for  the  current  year,  1,767  inhabited  houses,  this  multiplied  by 

5  ’01  will  give  as  the  number  of  inhabitants .  8,852 

Multiplied  by  4*95  the  number  will  be .  8,746 

Multiplied  by  4*82  the  number  will  be .  8,516 

The  mean  of  these  three  estimates  is  .  8,704 


Which  will  tolerably  represent  the  population  of  the  district. 

The  greater  part  of  the  male  population  is  employed  at  the  Lancashire  and 
Yorkshire  Railway  Company’s  Works,  and  at  the  other  engineering  workshops 
in  the  locality.  Iron  working  is  therefore  the  staple  industry  of  the  district. 
The  line  of  houses  and  shops  in  Oldham  Road  is  occupied  by  brokers,  hay 
dealers,  broom  makers,  and  provision  dealers.  The  works  of  the  Health 
Department  take  up  a  large  part  of  the  eastern  boundary.

The  whole  of  No.  4  Sanitary  district  is  a  tolerably  even  plane,  the  highest 
point  or  corner  being  in  the  centre  of  Rochdale  Road  and  Reather  Street, 
and  is  lift.  7in.  higher  than  the  lowest  point  or  corner  of  Oldham  Road 
and  Lees  Street. 


Sewers 

By  the  map  of  the  sewers  of  this  district  it  will  be  observed  that  con¬ 
siderations  other  than  the  natural  inclination  of  the  surface  have  been  taken 
into  account;  the  altitudes  would  point  to  the  junction  of  Oldham  Road  and 
Lees  Street  as  the  natural  outflow  for  the  district. 


L 


90 


The  natural  fall  of  the  land  adjacent  to  the  western  side  of  this  district, 
and  the  vicinity  of  the  river  Irk,  suggests  a  shorter  route  and  greater  fall  for 
the  sewage,  hence  it  is  that  the  sewer  in  Livesey  Street  flows  in  an  exactly 
contrary  direction  to  that  shown  by  the  altitudes ;  it  receives  the  flow  from 
Abbott  Street,  Sudell  Street,  and  Hew  Allen  Street,  with  all  the  tributary 
minor  streets,  and  joins  the  Rochdale  Road  sewer,  flowing  from  thence  to  the 
river  Irk. 

The  natural  inclination  of  Lees  Street  is  towards  Rochdale  Road,  the 
Rochdale  Road  end  of  Lees  Street  being  4ft.  2in.  higher  than  at  Oldham 
Road,  yet  the  sewage  of  Lees  Street  flows  from  the  lowest  point  at  Oldham 
Road  to  Rochdale  Road,  crossing  the  lower  Rochdale  Road  sewer,  and  falling 
eventually  into  the  river  Irk. 

The  main  sewer  running  down  Oldham  Road  does  not  absorb  any  great 
amount  of  sewage  from  this  district. 

Houses 

The  greater  part  of  the  houses  in  this  district  have  been  erected  since  1830. 

Most  of  the  old  houses  which  fronted  Oldham  Road  have  been  taken  down, 
and  churches,  schools,  and  business  premises  now  occupy  their  sites. 

The  most  unhealthy,  and  perhaps  the  oldest  part  of  the  district,  is  a  long 
narrow  block  of  streets  bounded  by  Sudell  Street,  Sudell  Passage,  and 
Rochdale  Road. 

According  to  a  map  made  by  Mr.  William  Green  in  the  year  1794  a  foot¬ 
path  existed  from  the  end  of  Lees  Street,  which  took  the  route  of  Sudell 
Passage,  dividing  Mrs.  Livesey’s  fields  from  those  of  Brazennose  College,  and 
leading  to  Collyhurst  Hall.  This  will  probably  be  the  origin  of  the  crooked 
and  unsanitary  Sudell  Passage. 

The  width  of  the  streets  varies  from  48ft.  to  12ft.,  and  the  greater  number 
of  them  are  considerably  narrower  than  is  required  by  the  bye-law  of  the 
Council  of  the  city  of  Manchester,  1868,  which  requires  a  width  of  30ft.  for 
every  street  after  the  date  thereof,  the  houses  in  which  shall  not  exceed  two 
stories. 

The  yards  of  the  houses  are  small,  the  passages  are  narrow,  and  in  most 
cases  the  space  between  the  backs  of  the  houses  is  small  and  insufficient. 

The  streets  are  for  the  most  part  paved  and  sewered,  and  in  good  condition. 

The  streets  enumerated  within  this  district  contain,  according  to  actual 
counting,  1,139  houses  ( Bastoiv ).  The  number  contained  in  the  Overseers’ 
books  for  the  year  1880-81  is  1,128  of  which  31  are  unoccupied,  leaving  1,097 
as  inhabited  houses.

Data  Population 

The  average  number  of  persons  per  house  for  the  entire  city  of  Man¬ 


chester,  according  to  the  census  of  1881,  was .  5  '01 

For  the  township  of  Manchester  .  4*95 

For  the  registration  sub-district  of  St.  George’s  .  4' 82 


As  No.  4  Sanitary  District  contained,  according  to  the  Overseers’  books 
for  the  current  year,  1,097  inhabited  houses,  this  number  multiplied 
by  5  *01  will  give  as  the  number  of  inhabitants  .  5,495 


Multiplied  by  4‘95  the  number  will  be  .  5,430 

Multiplied  by  4'82  the  number  will  be  .  5,287 

The  mean  of  these  three  estimates  is  . . . . .  5,404 


Which  will  tolerably  represent  the  population  of  the  district. 


Sanitary  District  No.  4 


Mortality 


From  26th  December,  1879,  to  24th  December,  1880,  inclusive,  the  total  number  of 
deaths  in  the  district  from  all  causes,  in  the  homes  of  the  people,  was  140. 


Death  Rate 


According  to  the  population  estimated  by  the  average  city  rate  of  occupa¬ 


tion,  140  deaths  would  give  a  rate  per  1,000  of  .  25*47 

According  to  the  township  rate  of  occupation  .  25*78 

According  to  the  registration  sub-district  rate  .  26*48 

The  mean  of  these  three  estimates  of  population .  25  90

Sewers 

The  general  slope  of  the  district  is  towards  the  corner  of  Swan  Street  and 
Shudehill,  consequently  the  sewerage  flows  to  this  point,  and  down  Miller 
Street  to  the  river  Irk.  The  principal  sewer  of  the  district  flows  along  Swan 


108 


Street,  receiving  the  flow  of  Oldliam  Road  sewer  and  of  Rochdale  Road 
sewer ;  it  also  receives  the  flow  of  Cross  Street  sewer,  with  its  tributaries  from 
Cable  Street,  Addington  Street,  Marshall  Street,  Goulden  Street,  Bennett 
Street,  and  Thompson  Street.  The  Lees  Street  sewer  receives  tributaries  from 
Pump  Street  and  Foundry  Street,  crosses  over  Rochdale  Road,  and  passes  down 
Gould  Street  to  the  river  Irk. 

The  Swan  Street  sewer  is  25ft.  8in.  deep  at  New  Cross,  and  37ft.  deep  at 
the  corner  of  Shudehill  and  Rochdale  Road,  and  its  most  extreme  tributary  is 
12ft.  deep.  The  Lees  Street  sewer  is  10ft.  deep  at  its  extreme  tributary,  and 
30ft.  deep  as  it  enters  Gould  Street ;  the  district  has  therefore  ample  sewer  fall, 
and  presents  favourable  conditions  for  drainage. 

Houses 

Nearly  all  the  houses  in  this  district  were  built  before  1830,  and  the  greatest 
number  of  the  houses  are  back  to  back. 

The  width  of  the  streets  ranges  from  120ft.  to  5ft.  2in.  A  few  of  the 
streets  are  over  30ft.  wide ;  but  there  are  a  number  of  narrow  streets,  the 
houses  in  them  having  no  yards. 

The  passages  are  narrow  and  where  yards  exist  they  are  small,  the  space 
between  the  backs  of  the  houses  being  insufficient. 

With  the  exception  of  Andrew’s  Court  and  Back  Foundry  Street  which  are 
unpaved,  and  No.  1  Court,  Cable  Street,  where  the  sewer  is  out  of  order,  the 
whole  of  the  streets  are  in  good  condition.  The  houses  are  mostly  without 
cellars  (except  in  the  principal  streets)  and  have  no  ventilating  spaces  under 
the  floors.  They  rise  directly  from  the  ground  and  are  damp. 

The  streets  enumerated  within  this  district  contain,  according  to  actual 
counting,  880  houses  ( Bastow ).  The  number  contained  in  the  Overseers  books 
for  the  year  1880—81  was  903,  of  which  74  was  unoccupied,  leaving  829  as 
inhabited  houses.

Data  Population 


The  average  number  of  persons  per  house  for  the  entire  city  of  Man¬ 
chester,  according  to  the  census  of  1881,  was .  5-01 

For  the  township  of  Manchester .  A  95 

For  the  registration  sub-district  of  St.  George’s  .  4’82 

As  No.  5  Sanitary  District  contained,  according  to  the  Overseers’  books 
for  the  current  year,  829  inhabited  houses,  this  number  multiplied  by 

5‘01  will  give  as  the  number  of  inhabitants  .  4,153 

Multiplied  by  4  95  the  number  will  be  .  4.103 

Multiplied  by  4‘82  the  number  will  be  .  3,995 

The  mean  of  these  three  estimates  is  .  4,083 

Which  will  tolerably  represent  the  population  of  the  district. 


A  considerable  part  of  the  population  are  wholesale  cabinet  makers ;  there  are 
also  a  number  of  the  inhabitants  in  the  numerous  cotton  waste  warehouses  in 
the  district.

Sewers 

The  general  slope  of  the  district  is  towards  the  river  Irk.  Rochdale  Road 
being  50ft.  higher  than  the  Irk  the  fall  for  sewerage  is  considerable. 

The  principal  sewer  of  the  district  is  Charter  Street  sewTer,  which  runs  along 
the  centre  of  Charter  Street  from  Miller  Street,  and  turns  into  the  river  close 
by  the  Lancashire  and  Yorkshire  Railway  bridge.  It  receives  the  flow  of 
St.  Michael’s  Square,  Ludgate  Street,  Sharp  Street,  Nicholas  Street,  and 
Ludgate  Hill,  with  their  numerous  tributaries  in  the  smaller  surrounding 
streets  and  courts. 

The  Rochdale  Road  sewers  passes  down  Miller  Street  and  there  receives  the 
flow  of  Oswald  Street,  Berwick  Street,  and  Ledger  Street,  with  their  sur¬ 
rounding  streets  and  courts. 


126 


The  sewer  which  runs  down  Gould  Street  from  No.  5  Sanitary  District 
receives  the  flow  from  Dewhurst  Street  and  Simeon  Street,  and  their 
surrounding  courts,  finally  entering  the  Irk  at  the  foot  of  Gould  Street. 

The  Irk  Street  sewer  runs  directly  into  the  Irk  as  far  as  can  be  made  out 
by  the  City  Surveyor’s  maps. 

Crown  Street  and  Crown  Lane  are  drained  by  a  sewer  which  eventually 
turns  down  Nelson  Street  into  the  Irk 

The  Long  Millgate  sewer  falls  into  the  Irk  at  the  bridge  in  Ashley  Lane. 

Houses 

With  few  exceptions  the  houses  have  been  built  before  1830,  and  a  great 
number  of  them  are  back  to  back  with  fronts  opening  into  small  courts.  As  a 
rule  the  houses  are  old  and  confined. 

The  width  of  the  streets  ranges  from  38ft.  to  5ft ,  the  greater  number  being 
from  10ft.  to  20ft.  wide 

The  passages  vary  in  width,  and  are  narrow ;  the  spaces  between  the  backs 
of  the  houses  being  small  and  insufficient. 

The  streets  are  for  the  most  part  paved  and  sewered,  and  in  good  condition. 
The  houses  are  without  cellars,  except  in  the  principal  roads  and  streets,  and 
have  no  ventilating  spaces  under  the  floors ;  they  rise  directly  from  the  ground. 
The  outside  walls  are  9in.  thick,  and  the  inside  walls  are  4 Jin.  thick , 

The  streets  enumerated  within  this  district  contain,  according  to  actual 
counting,  1,316  houses  (Bcistoiv).  The  number  contained  in  the  Overseers’ 
books  for  the  year  1880-81  was  1,327,  of  which  75  were  unoccupied,  leaving 
1,252  as  inhabited  houses.

Data  Population 

The  average  number  of  persons  per  house  for  the  entire  city  of  Man¬ 


chester,  according  to  the  census  of  1881,  was  .  5 ‘01 

For  the  township  of  Manchester .  4*95 

For  the  registration  sub-district  of  St.  George’s .  4-82 

As  Ho.  6  Sanitary  District  contained,  according  to  the  Overseers’  books 
for  the  current  year,  1,252  inhabited  houses,  this  number  multiplied 

by  5’01  will  give  as  the  number  of  inhabitants .  6,272 

Multiplied  by  4  95  the  number  will  be  .  6,197 

Multiplied  by  4‘82  the  number  will  be  .  6,034 

The  mean  of  these  three  estimates  is  .  6,168 

Which  will  tolerably  represent  the  population  of  the  district. 


A  large  part  of  the  population  appear  to  have  no  definite  occupation,  and 
consist  of  the  lowest  orders.  The  boundary  in  Rochdale  Road  is  occupied  by 
shopkeepers,  and  a  good  part  of  the  district  is  taken  up  by  waste  dealers’ 
warehouses  and  the  flags  of  St.  Michael’s  Church.

Death  Eate

tion  179  deaths  would  give  a  rate  per  1,000  of .  28-53 

According  to  the  township  rate  of  occupation  .  28*88 

According  to  the  registration  sub-district  rate  .  29 '66

Sewers 

The  general  slope  of  the  district  is  from  Rochdale  Road  to  the  river  Irk,  the 
latter  being  78ft.  lower  than  Rochdale  Road.  It  is  drained  by  five  principal 
sewers,  namely,  Dalton  Street  sewer,  Water  Street  sewer,  Bilberry  Street  sewer, 
Bromley  Street  sewer,  and  Parker  Street  sewer  ;  also,  a  sewer  which  runs 
down  Lower  Tebbutt  Street  and  flows  into  a  stream  which  crosses  Flag  Row, 
eventually  flowing  into,  the  Irk ;  the  point  of  outflow  of  the  latter  is  not  shown 
on  the  City  Surveyor’s  maps. 

The  Dalton  Street  sewer  is  a  continuation  of  the  Livesey  Street  sewer,  and 
receives  the  flow  of  Barlow  Street,  with  tributaries  from  Home  Street,  Hancock 
Street,  and  other  minor  streets ;  running  down  Dalton  Street  it  crosses 
Portland  Street  and  enters  the  river  Irk.  The  Water  Street  sewer  •  receives 
the  flow  from  Dixon  Street  and  part  of  Portland  Street ;  from  thence  it  flows 
directly  down  Water  Street  to  the  river  Irk. 

The  Lower  Tebbutt  Street  sewer  is  the  most  important  in  the  district ;  it 
receives  the  flow  from  Limer  Street,  Nelson  Street,  Pilling  Street,  Tebbutt 
Street,  Coburg  Stieet,  and  the  Railway  Passage,  with  the  flow  of  a  number  of 
minor  streets ;  it  then  empties  into  an  old  culvert  which  eventually  finds  its 
way  into  the  Irk. 

The  Bilberry  Street  sewer  drains  Bilberry  Street,  crosses  Ashley  Lane,  and 
enters  the  Irk. 

The  Bromley  Street  sewer  drains  part  of  the  railway  passage,  passes  under 
the  Lancashire  and  Yorkshire  Railway,  down  Bromley  Street,  and  across  Ashley 
Lane  into  the  Irk. 

The  Parker  street  Sewer  receives  the  flow  of  King  Street,  Silver  Street,  and 
other  small  surrounding  streets ;  it  then  flows  down  Parker  Street  and  across 
Ashley  Lane  into  the  Irk. 


Houses 

Most  of  the  houses  in  this  district  were  built  before  1830,  and  more  than 
three-fourths  before  1850. 

There  are  a  number  of  back-to-back  houses  in  the  courts,  and,  generally, 
the  property  is  confined. 

The  width  of  the  streets  ranges  from  50ft.  to  7ft.  4in.,  the  greater  number 
being  under  30ft.  wide. 

The  passages  are  narrow,  and  in  many  cases  the  space  between  the  backs  of 
the  houses  is  small  and  insufficient.

146 


The  streets  are  for  the  most  part  paved  and  sewered,  and  in  good  condition. 
The  houses  are  without  cellars,  except  in  the  principal  roads  and  streets,  and 
have  no  ventilating  spaces  under  the  floors ;  they  rise  directly  from  the 
ground.  The  outside  walls  are  9in.  thick,  and  the  inside  walls  are  4Jin. 
thick. 

The  streets  enumerated  within  this  district  contain,  according  to  actual 
counting,  872  houses  (Bastow).  The  number  contained  in  the  Overseers’ 
books  for  the  year  1880-81  was  861,  of  which  48  were  unoccupied,  leaving  813 
as  inhabited  houses.

Data  Population 

The  average  number  of  persons  per  house  for  the  entire  city  of 


Manchester,  according  to  the  census  of  1881,  was  .  5'01 

For  the  township  of  Manchester .  4’ 95 

For  the  registration  sub-district  of  St.  George’s  .  4- 82 

As  No.  7  Sanitary  District  contained,  according  to  the  Overseers’  books 
for  the  current  year,  813  inhabited  houses,  this  number  multiplied 

by  5*01  will  give  as  the  number  of  inhabitants  .  4,073 

Multiplied  by  4-95  the  number  will  be  .  4,024 

Multiplied  by  4‘82  the  number  will  be  .  3,918 

The  mean  of  these  three  estimates  is  .  4,005 


Which  will  tolerably  represent  the  population  of  this  district. 

A  considerable  extent  of  the  district  is  occupied  by  the  Rochdale  Road  Gas 
Works  and  the  Lancashire  and  Yorkshire  Railway  Company’s  Sidings.  The 
Rochdale  Road  boundary  is  occupied  by  shopkeepers ;  the  remaining  part  is 
occupied  by  a  poor  class  of  people,  such  as  porters  labourers,  &c.

Sewers 

The  foundation  rocks  on  which  the  subsoil  rests  are  the  outcropping  edges 
of  the  upper  members  of  the  Manchester  coalfield,  including  the  coalfields  of 
u

Blackley,  Clayton,  and  Bradford ;  these  rise  immediately  from  under  the 
Permian  sandstone  which  is  exhibited  in  the  sand  delph  of  Sir  E.  Buckley, 
at  Colly  hurst. 

The  slope  of  the  north-eastern  half  of  the  district  is  towards  Moston  Brook, 
and  the  south-western  half  slopes  towards  the  river  Irk. 

The  railway  passage  sewer  drains  that  portion  of  the  district  which  lays 
between  the  railway  and  Rochdale  Road. 

The  Buckley  Street  sewer  drains  Buckley  Street  and  Worth  Street,  probably 
passing  down  Coulman  Street  into  the  Irk.  The  City  Surveyor’s  maps  do  not 
indicate  the  further  flow  of  this  sewer. 

The  Collyhurst  Road  sewer  receives  the  flow  of  Barlow  Street,  Buckley 
Street,  and  Vauxhall  Street,  flowing  into  the  Irk  opposite  the  end  of  Delph 
Street. 

Owing  to  the  regular  incline  of  the  district,  it  presents  very  favourable  con¬ 
ditions  for  drainage.  Rochdale  Road  descends  on  each  side  of  the  railway 
bridge,  while  Barlow  Street  and  Dalton  Street  incline  very  decidedly  to  the 
Irk,  and  Brydonville  Street  slopes  to  the  Moston  Brook  and  the  Irk. 


Houses 

The  greater  part  of  the  houses  in  this  district  have  been  built  since  1850, 
and  more  than  seven-eighths  since  1830.  The  remainder  were  built  before  1830 

There  are  some  back-to-back  houses  in  Back  Preston  Street,  and  some  old 
houses  in  Burton’s  Buildings,  Collyhurst  Road. 

The  width  of  the  streets  ranges  from  55ft,  6in.  to  7ft.,  the  greater  number 
being  irom  24ft.  to  30ft.  wide.  A  number  of  them  are  made  in  accordance 
with  the  bye-law  ol  the  Council  of  the  city  of  Manchester,  1868,  which  requires 
a  width  of  30ft.  for  every  street  after  the  date  thereof,  the  houses  in  which 
shall  not  exceed  two  storeys.  Each  house  erected  since  1868  has  an  open 
yard  or  area  containing  at  least  70  square  feet,  in  accordance  with  bye-law 
Ho.  11. 

The  passages  vary  in  width,  those  passing  through  newly-erected  property 
are  wide;  but  the  passages  of  the  property  which  was  built  prior  to  1868  are 
narrow,  and  in  many  cases  the  spaces  between  the  backs  of  the  houses  is  small 
and  insufficient. 


163 


The  streets  are  paved  and  sewered,  and  in  good  condition.  The  houses  are 
without  cellars,  except  in  the  principal  roads  and  streets,  and  have  no  venti¬ 
lating  spaces  under  the  floors ;  they  rise  directly  from  the  ground.  The  outside 
walls  are  9 in.  thick,  and  the  inside  walls  are  4^in.  thick. 

The  streets  enumerated  within  this  district  contain,  according  to  actual 
counting,  1,423  houses  ( Bastow ).  The  number  contained  in  the  Overseers’ 
books  for  the  year  1880-81  was  1,408,  of  which  101  were  unoccupied,  leaving 
1,307  as  inhabited  houses.

Data  Population 


The  average  number  of  persons  per  house  for  the  entire  city  of  Man¬ 
chester,  according  to  the  census  of  1881,  was .  5*01 

For  the  township  of  Manchester .  4*95 

For  the  registration  sub-district  of  St.  George’s  . .  4 ’82 

As  No.  8  Sanitary  District  contained,  according  to  the  Overseers’  books 
for  the  current  year,  1,307  inhabited  houses,  this  number  multiplied 

by  5 -01  will  give  as  the  number  of  inhabitants  .  6,548 

Multiplied  by  4*95  the  number  will  be  .  6,469 

Multiplied  by  4’82  the  number  will  be  .  6,299 

The  mean  of  these  three  estimates  is  .  6,439 

Which  will  tolerably  represent  the  population  of  the  district. 


The  part  of  Rochdale  Road  in  this  district  is  inhabited  by  shopkeepers ; 
part  of  the  population  is  employed  in  the  manufacture  of  tobacco  pipes,  another 
part  work  for  the  Lancashire  and  Yorkshire  Railway  Company,  who  have  large 
works  in  the  neighbourhood,  and  others  work  at  the  Gas  Works.  As  a  rule 
the  population  of  this  district  is  thrifty.

tion  138  deaths  would  give  a  rate  per  1,000  of  . . .  21  -07 

According  to  the  township  rate  of  occupation  .  21  *33 

According  to  the  registration  sub-district  rate  .  21 '90

Sewers 

The  foundation  rocks  on  which  the  subsoil  rests  are  the  outcropping 
edges  of  the  upper  members  of  the  Manchester  coalfield,  including  the 
coalfields  of  Blackley,  Clayton,  and  Bradford ;  these  rise  immediately 
from  under  the  Permian  sandstone  which  is  exhibited  in  the  sand  delph  of 


179 


Sir  E.  Buckley,  at  Collyhurst.  The  Moston  Brook  and  the  river  Irk  receive 
the  sewage  of  this  district.  The  lowest  point  of  Rochdale  Road  is  at  the  lower 
end  of  Hall’s  Crescent ;  here  the  Moston  Brook  passes  under  the  road  and 
receives  the  flow  from  Marston  Street,  half  of  Paget  Street,  half  of  Churnet 
Street,  Forest  Street,  and  half  of  Oswald  Street,  these  entering  the  Rochdale 
Road  sewer,  and  from  thence  into  the  Moston  Brook  at  the  bridge.  Another 
sewer  flows  from  Dyson  Street  along  Rochdale  Road,  receiving  the  flow  of 
Collyhurst  Street  and  other  small  streets,  flowing  into  the  Moston  Brook  at  the 
bridge  in  Rochdale  Road.  The  brook  also  drains  Brydonville  Street,  Windsor 
Street,  Buckingham  Street,  and  Rockingham  Street.  Another  large  sewer  flows 
down  Collyhurst  Road,  entering  the  brook  near  to  the  Grapes  Inn  in  Collyhurst 
Road.  This  receives  the  flow  from  Alexandra  Street,  part  of  Paget  Street, 
part  of  Churnet  Street,  part  of  Oswald  Street,  and  part  of  Egginton  Street. 
In  Smedley  Road  there  is  a  sewer  running  into  the  Irk  at  the  bridge.  Weber 
Street  and  Inkerman  Street  are  drained  into  the  river  Irk. 

The  conditions  for  the  flow  of  the  sewers  in  this  district  are  very  favourable, 
owing  to  the  great  inclination  of  the  soil. 

Houses 

Nearly  half  of  the  houses  in  this  district  have  been  built  since  1870,  and 
more  than  seven-eights  since  1850  ;  the  remainder  since  1830. 

There  are  no  back-to-back  houses  in  this  district.  There  is,  however,  some 
old  property  about  Collyhurst  Road  which  is  in  a  very  unsatisfactory  state, 
owing  to  being  built  on  the  edge  of  a  reservoir  of  dye  water.  Jane’s  Place  in 
Rochdale  Road,  and  some  houses  in  Eitzgeorge  Street,  are  also  built  in  such  a 
manner  as  to  be  unfit  for  dwellings. 

The  width  of  the  streets  average  30ft.  This  is  in  accordance  with  the  bye¬ 
law  of  the  Council  of  the  city  of  Manchester,  1808,  which  requires  a  width  of 
30ft.  for  every  street  after  the  date  thereof,  the  houses  in  which  shall  not 
exceed  two  stories.  Each  house  erected  since  1868  has  an  open  yard  or  area 
containing  at  least  70  square  feet  in  accordance  with  bye-law  No.  11. 

The  passages  vary  in  width,  those  passing  through  the  newly-erected 
property  are  wide ;  but  the  passages  of  the  property  which  was  built  prior  to 
1868  are  narrow ;  in  many  cases  the  space  between  the  backs  of  the  houses  is 
small  and  insufficient. 

The  streets  are  for  the  most  part  paved  and  sewered,  and  in  good  condition. 
The  houses  are  without  cellars,  except  in  the  principal  roads  and  streets,  and 
have  no  ventilating  spaces  under  the  floors ;  they  rise  directly  from  the 
ground.  The  outside  walls  are  9in.  thick,  and  the  inside  walls  are  4 Jin.  thick, 
and  a  few  have  bay  windows  in  the  front  rooms. 


180 


The  streets  enumerated  within  this  district  contain,  according  to  actual 
counting,  849  houses  (Bastow).  The  number  contained  in  the  Overseers’ 
books  for  the  year  1880-81  was  855,  of  which  84  were  empty,  leaving  771  as 


inhabited  houses.

The  mean  of  these  three  estimates  is  .  3,798 

Which  will  tolerably  represent  the  population  of  the  district. 


The  houses  in  Eochdale  Eoad  are  occupied  by  shopkeepers,  and  the 
remaining  part  of  the  district  is  inhabited  by  joiners,  clerks,  and  ware¬ 
housemen.

The  difference  of  level  between  the  highest  and  lowest  points  of  the  district, 
as  given  by  the  Ordnance  Survey,  is  72ft.  6in. 

Sewers 

The  foundation  rocks  on  which  the  subsoil  rests  are  the  outcropping  edges 
of  the  upper  members  of  the  Manchester  coalfield,  including  the  coalfields  of 
Blackley,  Clayton,  and  Bradford ;  these  rise  immediately  from  under  the 
Permian  sandstone  which  is  exhibited  in  the  sand  clelph  of  Sir  E.  Buckley, 
at  Collyhurst. 

The  upper  part  of  Collyhurst  Road  and  Rochdale  Road  are  drained  by  the 
Scropton  Street  sewer,  which  runs  into  the  Moston  Brook,  near  Queen’s  Road. 
Topley  Street,  Queen’s  Road,  and  Park  View  are  drained  by  the  Hendham 
Yale  sewer,  which  finds  its  outlet  into  the  river  Irk. 

Houses 

The  greater  part  of  the  houses  in  this  district  have  been  built  since  1850. 
There  is  only  one  block  of  buildings  which  was  erected  before  1830,  and  it  is 
openly  situated. 

There  are  no  back-to-back  houses  in  the  district. 

The  width  of  the  streets  varies  from  54ft.  to  23ft.,  the  greater  number  of 
them  being  30ft.  or  more,  in  accordance  with  the  bye-law  of  the  Council  of 
the  city  of  Manchester,  1868,  which  requires  a  width  of  30ft.  for  every  street 
after  the  date  thereof,  the  houses  in  which  shall  not  exceed  two  stories.  Each 
house  erected  since  1868  has  an  open  yard  or  area  containing  at  least  70  square 
feet  in  accordance  with  bye-law  No.  11. 

The  passages  vary  in  width ;  those  passing  through  the  newly-erected 
property  are  wide. 

The  streets  are  for  the  most  part  paved  and  sewered,  and  in  good  condition. 
The  houses  in  the  back  streets  are  without  cellars,  and  have  no  ventilating 
spaces  under  the  floors ;  they  rise  directly  from  the  ground.  The  outside 
walls  are  9in.  thick,  and  the  inside  walls  are  4|in.  thick. 


191 


The  streets  enumerated  within  this  district  contain,  according  to  actual 
counting,  358  houses  ( Bastow ).  The  number  contained  in  the  Overseers’ 
books  for  the  year  1880-81  was  345,  of  which  25  were  uninhabited,  leaving 
320  as  inhabited  houses.

Data  Population 

The  average  number  of  persons  per  house  for  the  entire  city  of  Man¬ 
chester,  according  to  the  census  of  1881,  was .  5 '01 

For  the  township  of  Manchester  .  4 '95 

For  the  registration  sub-district  of  St.  George’s  .  4 '82 

As  No.  10  Sanitary  District  contained,  according  to  the  Overseers’ 
books  for  the  year  1880-81,  320  inhabited  houses,  this  multiplied  by 

5 '01  will  give  as  the  number  of  inhabitants  .  1,603 

Multiplied  by  4' 9 5  the  number  will  be  .  1,584 

Multiplied  by  4 '8 2  the  number  will  be  .  1,542 

The  mean  of  these  three  estimates  is  .  1,576 

Which  will  tolerably  represent  the  population  of  the  district. 


The  inhabitants  living  in  Rochdale  Road  are  mostly  shopkeepers ;  the 
remainder  are  chiefly  tradesmen  and  clerks.

pation,  33  deaths  would  give  a  rate  per  1,000  of .  20 '58 


According  to  the  township  rate  of  occupation  .  20*83 

According  to  the  registration  sub-district  rate  . .  21*40 


The  mean  of  these  three  estimates  would  give  a  rate  of  .  20*93

Sewers 


The  foundation  rocks  on  which  the  subsoil  rests  are  the  outcropping  edges 
of  the  upper  members  of  the  Manchester  coalfield,  including  the  coalfields  of 
Blackley,  Clayton,  and  Bradford  ;  these  rise  immediately  from  under  the 
Permian  sandstone  which  is  exhibited  in  the  sand  delph  of  Sir  E.  Buckley, 
at  Collyhurst. 

The  sewers  which  run  down  Drinkwater  Street  and  Boardman  Street 
are  the  main  sewers  of  the  district.  The  sewer  in  Bochdale  Boad  flows 
into  that  of  Drinkwater  Street,  as  also  do  the  sewers  in  Mount  Street,  Burgess 
Street,  and  Back  Mount  Street ;  passing  down  Drinkwater  Street  it  receives  the 
flowfrom  Lancashire  Street,  Ogden  Street,  Barlow’s  Buildings,  Coates’s  Build¬ 
ings,  and  Woodland  Street,  with  its  tributaries,  thence  passing  directly  into  the 
river  Irk.  The  Boardman  Street  sewer  runs  directly  down  Boardman  Street 
into  the  Irk.  The  district  is  situated  on  the  side  of  a  hill,  and  consequently 
presents  every  condition  for  a  good  fall  for  the  sewer  water  to  the  Irk,  which 
lies  at  its  base.

Houses 

The  houses  in  this  district  have  sprung  up  at  various  dates,  some  before  and 
some  since  1830,  some  since  1850,  and  some  since  1870. 

There  are  no  back-to-back  houses  in  the  district,  but  there  is  some 
old  property  in  Mount  Place,  Barlow’s  Buildings,  Coates’s  Buildings,  and 
Boardman  Street. 

The  width  of  the  streets  ranges  from  49ft.  to  7ft.  Sin  A  good  part  of  the 
district  is  now  filled  with  recently  erected  property.  The  streets  thus 
erected  are  30ft.  wide  in  accordance  with  the  bye-law  of  the  Council  of  the 
city  of  Manchester,  1868,  which  requires  a  width  of  30ft.  for  every  street  after 
the  date  thereof,  the  houses  in  which  shall  not  exceed  two  stories.  Each  house 
erected  since  1868  has  an  open  yard  or  area  containing  at  least  70  square  feet 
in  accordance  with  bye-law  ISTo.  11. 

The  passages  vary  in  width ;  those  passing  through  the  newly  erected 
property  are  wide,  but  the  passages  of  the  property  which  was  built  prior  to 
1868  are  narrow. 

The  streets  are  for  the  most  part  paved  and  sewered  and  in  good  condition. 
The  houses  are  without  cellars,  except  in  the  principal  roads  and  streets,  and 
have  no  ventilating  spaces  under  the  floors.  The  outside  walls  of  the  houses 
built  since  1850  are  9in.  thick,  and  the  inside  walls  are  4^ in.  thick. 

The  streets  enumerated  within  this  district  contain,  according  to  actual 
counting,  527  houses  (Bastow).  The  number  contained  in  the  Overseers’ 
books  for  1880-81  was  516,  of  which  74  were  unoccupied,  leaving  442  as 
inhabited  houses.

The  average  number  of  persons  per  house  for  the  entire  city  of  Man¬ 


chester,  according  to  the  census  of  1881,  was .  5 ’01 

For  the  township  of  Manchester  . . .  4'95 

For  the  registration  sub-district  of  St.  George’s  .  4 ‘82 

As  No.  11  Sanitary  District  contained,  according  to  the  Overseers’  books 
for  the  current  year,  442  inhabited  houses,  this  number  multiplied 

by  4 ’9  5  will  give  as  the  number  of  inhabitants  .  2,214 

Multiplied  by  4' 95  the  number  will  be  .  2,187 

Multiplied  by  4'82  the  number  will  be  .  2,130
