Children's Work and Welfare, 1780-1890
Experiment or Anachronism? The role of the National Institute of Houseworkers
Pauper apprenticeship and the Grimsby fishing industry, 1870 to 1914
Children's Work and Welfare 1780–1890
This short book provides a succinct account of changes in children's work and welfare in Britain between 1780 and 1890. It examines both the scale and the nature of child employment and the changing attitude of society towards it at a time when Britain was becoming the 'workshop of the world'. The further development of industry in the second half of the nineteenth century meant that the need for juvenile workers declined. At the same time the ef…

The diary of a suffolk farmer's wife, 1854-69. a woman of her time
The Changing Countryside in Victorian and Edwardian England and Wales
The Corps of Royal Engineers and the Growth of British Technical Education
Among the very best civil servants are officers and men of the Royal Engineers. Whether. . . officers or privates, you know with certainty that you can obtain a competent man for almost any kind of work in the Royal Engineers. (Henry Cole, ‘On the Efficiency and Economy of a National Army, in Connection with the Industry and Education of the People’, Journal of the Society of Arts, Vol. 17 (19th Feb., 1869), 209). Acknowledging, then, the importa…
Schooling and Literacy in Rural England, 1800-1914
The Contribution of the Propagandist to Eighteenth-Century Agricultural Improvement
Were the knowledge of the ablest farmers in the best-cultivated parts of the island collected, - English Agriculture would be found, at this day, to be far advanced towards perfection... In short, the art of agriculture must ever remain imperfect while it is suffered to languish in the memory, and die with the practitioner: RECORD, only, can perpetuate the art; and SYSTEM, alone, render the science comprehensive. William Marshall, The rural econo…
The Rise and Fall of the Victorian Servant
Silent Sisterhood: Middle Class Women in the Victorian Home
Child Workers in the Pillow Lace and Straw Plait Trades of Victorian Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire
Although for most country girls in Victorian England the choice of work outside the home was limited to domestic service, there were certain areas to which this did not apply. In some cases the reason lay in the existence of competing employment in local factories or workshops - so that in Lancashire (taking rural and urban districts together) about one in four girls aged between ten and fifteen were employed in cotton manufacture at the time of …
VI. Agricultural Trade Unionism and Emigration, 1872–1881
Unlike their fellows in a number of other industries, English farm labourers came relatively late to the idea of trade unionism. Admittedly, unsuccessful attempts at combination had been made by some few labourers from the 1830s onwards – and particularly during the later 1860s – but it was not until the years 1871–2 that appreciable numbers of them displayed real interest in the principles of trade unionism
