Improvements in the Dwellings of the Working Classes
Lord Morpeth and guests visited Birkenhead to view new four story red brick dwellings for dock workers. The homes showcase sanitary design with water, washing sinks, a dust shaft, and fireproof floors bound by iron ties. Observers noted ventilation, warmth, and self contained chambers, while critics urged further improvements in warming and air flow. Rent per set covered water, gas, taxes, two iron bedsteads, and fixtures, with eight percent return expected for investors.
