I have been using the
Charles Booth Online Archive recently, which is a terrific resource for finding out what sort of housing existed in all parts of London at the turn of the Victorian century. The
Southwark page includes the parishes of
Holy Trinity, St Mary's, St Barnabas,
All Saints and Christchurch. A key is provided on each page so that you can see what the colour coding on the map means. A particularly useful feature is the ability to compare Booth's original map with a modern map on the same page at the same time. The screen grab below shows the parish of Christchurch.
