1903 08 04 — Demolition of St Peter’s Court
Location: St Peter’s Court, Castle Street
Responding to claims that Cambridge contained slums worse than Whitechapel, Dr Roper said that the town’s worst housing was rapidly being demolished. He cited St Peter’s Court in Castle Street, which was then being pulled down. He also connected poor domestic conditions with poverty, large families and women having to work outside the home.
