Urban Environments: Patterns of Migration: Spitalfields

The essence of this study is on learners practising and developing their ability to use evidence effectively to understand how urban environments reflect population changes due to immigration. For the purposes of this study, the definition of an urban environment is that it is a defined area of a port city that has a long and varied history of immigration. The aim of this study is that learners should be able to explain how historians can use the physical fabric of the site and accompanying relevant documents and other source material to understand how changes in the site have reflected patterns of migration, including:

  • when immigrant groups arrived, why and from where
  • how immigrants were received by settled populations
  • the experiences of immigrants, including daily lives and occupations
  • key events in local migration history
  • the impact of migration on the area.
