Artizans and Labourers Dwellings Improvement Act, 1875. Shelton Street (Saint Giles in the Fields) Area 1884.
[1884]
Lithographic map with hand colour, ink and pencil annotations. Dissected and laid on linen, as issued, total sheet 725 x 1210mm (28½ x 47½"). Splits in folds on linen.
A detailed plan of a block of the Parish of St Giles in the Fields, on a scale of 16 feet to an inch. Orientated with north to the bottom, it is bounded by Drury Lane on the right, Macklin Street at the bottom, Cross Lane (now Newton Street) on the left and Parker Street at the top. An extension across Cross Lane shows Kennedy Court and Star Court, now the site of 'Hexagon Apartments at Parker Tower'. What is shown here as Shelton Street no longer exists. Of interest is the property of famous engineers 'Jeakes & Co'; and the 'Middlesex Music Hall' on the site of today's 'Gillian Lynne Theatre'. 'The Artisans' and Labourers' Dwellings Improvement Act 1875', which Benjamin Disraeli called 'the chief measure' of his administration, allowed local councils to buy up areas of slum dwellings in order to clear and then rebuild them.
