How many workers worked and lived here?
A – There are 824 houses in the village, accommodating 4,500 people. Everyone living in the village worked in the Mill, and your tenancy depended on you continuing to work there. If you lost your job, you lost your house. There are different kinds of houses for different types of workers (or operatives as Titus called them). There are executive houses on Albert Road, overlooker’s houses on George Street and William Henry Street, and the ordinary workers houses comprise the majority of the rest of the site. Sir Titus himself never lived in the village and never built a house here.
