<P> The pilgrims moved to the Netherlands in about 1607 . They lived in Leiden , Holland , a city of 100,000 inhabitants , residing in small houses behind the `` Kloksteeg '' opposite the Pieterskerk . The success of the congregation in Leiden was mixed . Leiden was a thriving industrial center , and many members were well able to support themselves working at Leiden University or in the textile , printing , and brewing trades . Others were less able to bring in sufficient income , hampered by their rural backgrounds and the language barrier ; for those , accommodations were made on an estate bought by Robinson and three partners . </P>
