I'm sure we did this a few years back on the forum, a miskin originally was an area where tenants usually in back courts dumped all their rubbish and very infrequently men hired by the landlords would come around and clear the rubbish away. As the Councils took over more and more of the slum areas they provided bins for the rubbish and set up regular collections. As the bins more often than not were placed in the miskin area they themselves became known as miskins.
