Beyond The Label – Digging Little Hell

In 2019 the Museum of Liverpool archaeology team undertook the first excavation of courtyard housing in Liverpool. This type of low quality, high density-housing was home to around half of Liverpool's working class people by the mid-19th century. This dig, in an area of the city described as 'little hell' in a court case in the 1880s, revealed some surprises about the everyday lives of people in 'Court 2, Oakes Street'.
