The city grew rapidly in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries as the area became home to a host of factories and workshops. Working conditions were hard and the population crowded in back-to-back houses with little sanitation. Disease ran alongside deprivation, and despite the city’s efforts at sanitation the canals became foul dumping grounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor: Anthony Poulton-Smith\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWarwickshire, West Midlands, True crime, Local history\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ch5\u003ePublished on 15 Oct 2026 by Amberley Publishing.\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Anthony Poulton-Smith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57517036470650,"sku":"9781398127128","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/4125\/files\/9781398127128.jpg?v=1793741339","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.co.uk\/products\/a-dark-history-of-birmingham-9781398127128","provider":"Belfast Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
