The coal yard in Kings Arms Yard, Drury Lane, London

Children play in this squalid and miserable place which is a stones throw away from where the Great Plague broke out in 1665

EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures the grim reality of life in the coal yard of Kings Arms Yard, Drury Lane, London in 1853. The scene at night is illuminated by dim lanterns, revealing a squalid and miserable place where around 17 large families live in cramped apartments above sheds for animals. Concern over the outbreak of Cholera is palpable as cartloads of refuse lie scattered across the uneven pavement, filled with stagnant water.
The historical significance of this location cannot be understated - just a stone's throw away from where the Great Plague broke out in 1665. Children can be seen playing amidst the filth and despair, unaware of the dangers lurking all around them. This image serves as a stark reminder of the harsh living conditions faced by many during this period in history.
As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we are transported back to a time when disease and poverty were rampant. It is an important reminder of how far we have come since then, but also a sobering reflection on how much work still needs to be done to ensure that everyone has access to safe and sanitary living conditions.
