Children as young as 6 years old could start working in mills during the Victorian era.

In Victorian times, children working in mills typically undertook various labor-intensive jobs, such as operating looms, cleaning machinery, and sorting materials. Their small size allowed them to crawl into tight spaces for maintenance, often putting them at risk. Working long hours in hazardous conditions, these children were paid very little, contributing significantly to their families' incomes.
