When Manchester was the powerhouse of the Industrial Revolution, Angel Meadow was the city's filthiest and most violent slum. This small area on the banks of sewage-filled river housed 20,000 people in conditions so shocking that it was described as 'hell on earth' by the social reformer Friedrich Engels in 1845. Dean Kirby's book is a history of the people who lived in Angel Meadow, revealing just why the slum gained world-wide notoriety.
