Goad's insurance maps: Tenement or Dwelling?
Hi,
I'm looking at a variety of insurance maps and I was wondering what the difference between a Tenement and a Dwelling would be.
Tenement I get, multiple separate dwellings sharing a single front door
But then I am looking at Howland Street, Fitzrovia where there are 4 storey dwellings
For the 1861 Census there seem to be 28 people from 9 families living at 18 Howland Street
Surely this would qualify as a tenement?
Would there be some kind of change in occupancy type or rebuilding done between 1867 and the insurance map twenty or more years later?
Or was there a second Howland Street? These seems unlikely as this one joins with Tottenham Court Road which is the census record sub-district.
Thanks,
Abigail.
