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.
