EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from c1860 showcases the low rental workmen's dwellings built by Birkenhead Dock Co. around 1844, designed by architect CE Lang. The detailed elevation depicts a block of three 'houses' with four floors each, divided into two dwellings featuring a living room, two bedrooms, and a washroom/scullery.
The architectural design reflects the industrial era of England, emphasizing functionality and practicality for the working-class residents. The use of timber materials in construction highlights the durability and strength required for structures in port areas such as docks and harbors.
Each dwelling within the block provides essential living spaces for families or individuals, showcasing the company's commitment to providing affordable housing options for their employees. The division of space ensures privacy and comfort while maximizing efficiency within the limited floor area.
As we admire this historical print, we are transported back in time to witness the early efforts to address housing needs for workers in industrialized cities like Birkenhead. The attention to detail in both design and execution speaks volumes about the dedication of architects like CE Lang to create livable spaces that catered to the specific requirements of their occupants.
