Describe the living conditions in Britain during industrialization?

Residential living conditions were close to the factories, which also had poorly built tenements with no sewers/piped water or sanitation. They were also overcrowded with several families in one building and poor ventilation. The results were high disease, high crime rates and high death rates. Responses to the poor living conditions included housing and sanitation codes; even suburbanization could not protect the rich from epidemics of diseases like the flu and diphtheria. Cities put in sewer systems, began trash collecting and hired police and fire services. Also, anyone who could afford to, moved away form the center of the city to high spots or the outskirts of the city. This limited their ability to pay for space or commute in the late 19th century.
