DEANSGATE AND GAYTHORN DISTRICT, COMPRISING | |||
| Number of men employed in houses visited. | Number of women and girls employed in houses visited. | REMARKS. | |
| Gaythorn Street | 2 | 1 | Many of the houses in this district have a most dilapidated appearance, both inside and out, as if they are to be pulled down. It will be a blessing if many of the homes we visited are removed to some healthier locality, and work is done in proper workshops provided by the employers; for if the state of things we witnessed is continued in other parts of the town, the condition of the workers will not be improved, but danger of contagion will be spread to those localities. We saw several instances of sickness in the same rooms where work was pursued. In some cases one room had to serve a family as workshop, sleeping-room, and all other conveniences necessary to a house; young women sleeping in the rooms whilst work was pursued. |

STRANGEWAYS DISTRICT, COMPRISING | |||
| Morton Street | 27 | 10 | One man, employing 13 men and 5 women, states that he turns out 120 suits in one week, which must entail night and day work, also Sunday labour, on those working for him The places are in general dirty and neglected. One in Julia Street is a factory: women employed as far as can be; houses and persons present a neglected appearance. Men only are employed in one place, but they take work to employ women at their homes to avoid the operation of the Factory Act, and they work with them at night. The condition of these homes is deplorable, and they need inspection in the interest of the public as well as of the people themselves. |
