ARTIZANS' AND OTHER DWELLINGS.
There are now some 439 dwellings, containing 5,097 separate flats
or tenements, in the borough, and they are occupied for the most part by
the working classes. Some of the older buildings are not nearly so fully
occupied as they used to be in former days, partly because some of them have
shown distinct deterioration, while others have become more or less out of date
in comparison with the more modern erections, which provide not only more
light, but more household conveniences.
