Famine and the Removal of Irish Paupers from London - LECTURE

 

Despite facing starvation and disease due to the Great Famine (1845 – 1851), many Irish who fled to London were sent back to Ireland.

Examining the history of the Famine alongside Victorian settlement and poor laws, and using documents from The London Archives’ collections, this talk will discuss how and why Irish paupers were removed from London.
