Butcherley Green, Hertford, Hertfordshire, England
Notes: Butcherley Green was an area of courts, yards and alleys in the centre of the Hertford. During the 19th and early 20th centuries it was the most densely populated part of the town. It was also delapidated, disease-ridden and had a fearsome reputation. Run down dwellings and public houses were home to the poorest residents of the town. Open sewers discharged into the river, there was no running water and drunkenness and violence were commonplace. Many of the buildings were constructed during the early 19th century by landlords keen to boost their political prospects or those of their chosen candidates. Landlords purchased or leased land and built as many tenements as possible, thereby increasing the number of householders eligable to vote. The houses were either built of brick or lath and plaster and covered with weatherboarding. There were no side or rear windows and no back doors in many buildings. Water was drawn from shared wells or pumps. [source: http://www.hertford.net/history/butcherley_green.asp ]
