London 1700s

In 1760, 75000 people were living in London and by 1850, the numbers crept to 1.4 MILLION. In just a 50 year gap, a massive number of people came to England so it meant cramped conditions, high mortality rates, low fertility rates aaaaand low life expectancy.

There was a big difference between high and low class status. More buildings were being built but usually, for the poor people, the houses would just collapse and cause a large number of fatalities. No training was given to carpenters and builders so they didn't really know what they were doing.

London was jail capital of Europe in 18th century; it was the place with the most crime and convicts. No established police force operated in London except for a self created group called the Bow Street Runners in 1949,

 Thief Takers were bounty hunters employed by people who sought safety from thieves, so they would employ and pay the Thief Takers themselves..
