Description: | The Ship Inn was situated at 169 Gateshead High Street. This photograph was taken around 1880 and shows the yard behind the inn. The yard is typical of the many small courts and squares which formed the residential accommodation behind the High Street shops. These houses were overcrowded and the inhabitants often lived in squalid conditions. In the early 20th century many of these houses were identified as slum housing and deemed unfit for human inhabitation. These houses were eventually demolished during Gateshead’s slum clearance programme in the 1930s. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.asaplive.com/Lco/Lco.cfm?ccs=629&cs=2674&Preview=1 | Publisher: | Gateshead Council | Rights holder: | Gateshead Council | Subjects: | Streets | Temporal: | name=Victorian; start=1837; end=1901; | Source: | iSee Gateshead | Creator: | Dodds, Edwin | Identifier: | http://isee.gateshead.gov.uk/detail.php?... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
