VIRTUAL WALK: Charles Booth's Victorian Deptford

Charles Booth's Victorian Deptford.jpg

A journey through late-Victorian Deptford using Charles Booth’s famous Poverty Maps. This live VIRTUAL WALK hosted on Zoom features excerpts from the notes Booth made to compile the maps, as well as examples of the maps themselves. With Sean, we follow the route Booth took to establish the living conditions of the inhabitants of one of London's toughest Victorian neighbourhoods, and we hear from contemporary writers and commentators.
