The meaning and "use of": rookeries
noun
- a breeding colony of rooks, typically seen as a collection of nests high in a clump of trees. - If a bird misbehaved itself such as claim or take over another bird's nest in the rookery the general body intervened and that bird was sentenced to isolation and had to go and live on a tree apart from the rest.
- a dense collection of housing, especially in a slum area. - Tenements, rookeries , and cheap rooming districts exercised a huge symbolic power over the public imagination as centres of vice, squalor, drunkenness, traffic in sex and stolen goods, and general depravity.
