Slums of London to South Oxhey

Meer over het boek

The narrative highlights the grim reality faced by child laborers in Britain's industrial heartlands, where young boys and girls, some as young as six, were forcibly taken from their homes and subjected to brutal working conditions. These children endured grueling 16-hour shifts in factories and mills, often receiving little more than meager rations for their labor. The stark imagery evokes the harshness of their existence and the exploitation inherent in the industrial revolution.
