Hello all,
With the help of Dicken's Dictionary of London, 1888, published by Old House Books, edition from 1993, though originally from 1888, I thought that I would present a list of Common Lodging Houses that pertained to H division.
All of these, in fact all Common Lodging houses were under Police supervision, with every room being inspected and measured before occupation was allowed. At a price of 4d per night (4 old pennies, £sd currency), the poorest places, like the one at St.Georges Chambers, St.Georges St, Radcliff Highway, were relatively comfortable.
H division, Common Lodging Houses
Flower and Dean Street, Dorset Street, Paternoster Row, Thrawl Street, Brick Lane, Princes Street, White's Row, Hanbury Street, George Street, Pearl Street, Wentworth Street, Heneage Street, Brushfield Street, Wheeler St,
Mount Street.
All of the above coming under Christchurch Parish.
Nicoll's Row, White Street, Church Street,
These come under the Parish of Bethnall Green.
Wellclose Square, Leman Street, Osbourne Place, Well Street, Dock Street,
Grace's Alley, Bull Street.
These adhere to the Parish of Whitechapel.
Hare Alley, Boundary Street.
These come under Shoreditch Parish.
Gunn Street
This lone CLH is the only one in H division that adheres to the Parish of the Old Artillery Ground.
St George's Street, Ship Alley, Princess Square, Cable Street, North-East Passage, Radcliff Street, Pell Street.
These belong to the Parish of St.Georges East.
London Street, Stepney Causeway, Broad Street, Narrow Street.
The above come under Ratcliff Parish.
High Street, Cable Street, King David's Lane, Baroda Place.
All these come under Shadwell Parish.
Turner Street, Lucas Street, Commercial Road, Greenfield Street, Lady Lake's Grove.
All under Mile End Old Town Parish
and finally, completing the list under the jurisdiction of H division, the following pertaining to Wapping Parish...
East Smithfield, Upper Well-Alley, St.George's Street.
Other CLH's (Common Lodging Houses) were found within the same or adjoining areas as the above, but were under the jurisdiction of other Police Divisions. Shoreditch Parish for example, was mainly under B Division, yet Dunston Street CLH pertained to J division. Other CLH's in Bethnall Green came under J division as well.
Perhaps the above may be of some use or interest.
