“He loathed the fast-growing slums and the dark and ugly spread of industrialization over unspoiled countryside. Why, he asked, should progress and the “triumph of machinery” lead to a reduction in quality of life? “Machinery,” he declared, “creates wealth but destroys men.”
George and Richard saw the mean slum dwellings as a cause of workers’ continuing misery, driving them to drink to escape the squalor of their lives. They saw the very worst of it in Birmingham firsthand through their work fo...r the Adult School movement. Before the Education Act of 1870, there was no compulsory elementary education, and the vast majority of adults in the slums were illiterate.
