I normally just right click and save as, but I'd go for the full size one from Art!
As for when they became slums . . . debatable! Probably not the finest housing to begin with! a lot of the "in-filling" of yards began around 1800 - 30's as Wigan began to expand... especially lovely was the fact that you would have houses with 2 or 3 families sharing, as well as abattoirs etc and normally 1 stand pipe and i earth closet for the entire lot !
Great! pass the cholera!!!
