Show transcript
Victorian childhood was very different to childhood today. Many Victorian children needed to work, both in towns and in the countryside. In a Victorian illustration, a child can be seen fainting in the fields due to the hard work. Children worked in factories and mines, and as chimney sweeps; these jobs were often very dangerous. Historical sources show many children died or were injured doing these dangerous jobs.
