Old Photograph Tenements Dundee Scotland

Old photograph of tenements in Dundee, Scotland. When the jute industry took off in the late 19th Century, Dundee grew very quickly and the mill workers were housed in cramped tenement housing. Some lived three to a room, many in single ends or two room tenement flats. Toilets were usually outside and living conditions were often dirty and sometimes infested with vermin.
