This is Little Clarendon Street, deemed by Booth to be one of the worst slums in London. My grandfather lived there as a child with my great Grandparents and my great great grandfather who was a cordwainer (shoe Maker) from Nenagh in Tipperary. The families lived at six different addresses in this street from 1890 - 1918 saying that it was cheaper to move than pay the rent. The street was demolished under the slum clearance programmes of the St Pancras House Improvement Society in the late twenties and early thirties when new estates were built which still exist and which my Dad and his family lived in until 1939.

81 Arlington Road behind the Bedford Theatre site where my father was born in 1927. It was condemned by the public health authorities then (something my Grandmother greatly resented as she took great pains to combat the fleas, bugs and mice which were endemic in the area). It is still there (in 2021) a very highly sought after very tasteful and expensive Georgian townhouse in private ownership.
