The southern portion of the Borough is residential in character, the
houses being chiefly occupied by the well-to-do artisan class, whilst the
northern or river-side portion is frequented by the casual labouring class

' abound. Taking the Borough as a whole, nearly all the houses, with the
exception of the "model" dwellings are occupied by members of more
