Background
History
The Marlborough Buildings were built in 1890 by the Improved Industrial Dwellings Company on the site of cottages in Bull's Gardens. This was part of a late Victorian movement to improve housing for the working poor. At the time the site was regarded as a poor area. In Charles Booth's poverty map map the area is classified as "Very poor, casual. Chronic want". The buildings consisted of two blocks with a courtyard in between. They provided low cost housing for 500 people. The entrance was through an arch from Walton Street. It was one of a number of social housing projects in Chelsea.
