  • Hartrain, on 06/08/2009, -0/+8What the article forgot to mention about the chimney sweeps is that because of the size of the chimneys, this work was usually performed by small boys, usually unwanted orphans. Mortality rate was extremely high. That's the dark side of of Victorian times, I guess.
