“…From the 1840s, upper and upper-middle class households had sought to move away from the crime, sewage and smoke, and the expansion of urban railway networks enabled them to move to the suburbs (Luckin 2000). The introduction of the Cheap Trains Act of 1883 and a rapid expansion of suburban housing in the 1890s offered an opportunity for lower-middle class families to live in the suburbs and commute into the city (Jackson 2003, Burnett 1986).…”

During the second-half of the nineteenth century, there had been a desire for upper-middle class families to live away from the crime, sewage and smoke (Luckin 2000). The introduction of the Cheap Trains Act of 1883 and a rapid expansion of suburban housing in the 1890s allowed a larger proportion of the population to live in suburbs and commute into the city, leaving the poorest in the centres (Thompson 1982, Jackson 2003, Burnett 1986).…”
