Men at Work |
||
|
It wasn't always Men's work. Until an act of Parliament banned them from working underground in 1842 women and children worked alongside the men at the coal face. After 1842 they continued to work long hours in the coal industry often as coal washers above ground. Boys over the age of 10 were, however, still permitted to work underground. |
