In Victorian times, chimney sweeps often comprised young boys, sometimes as young as four or five, who were employed to clean the narrow flues of chimneys. The work was grueling and hazardous, exposing them to soot inhalation, injuries from falling, and the risk of becoming trapped in the flue. Many children were subjected to harsh treatment, long hours, and minimal pay, with little regard for their safety or well-being. Efforts to reform the industry eventually led to the passing of laws to protect these young workers, particularly the Chimney Sweepers Act of 1840.

It was horrible and awful. it was dangerous and harmful, some people died because they got stuck and then some people who they worked for didn't even take them out.
The hygiene in the Victorian times were very poor. As a result of this, people became sick and died of illnesses.

Where can I buy my own chimney sweep tools? I'd like to start my own business!
Oh, dude, back in the Victorian times, a chimney sweep would rake in about 4 to 6 shillings a week. That's like the price of a fancy coffee these days, but instead of a latte, they were inhaling soot and risking their lives climbing up chimneys. So, yeah, not the most glamorous job, but hey, someone had to do it, right?
Being a chimney sweep seems like a good job since there aren't very many of them. Are there special schools to train them?
Of course not. There are no chimney sweeps and stuff like that Victorians, by definition, lived in Victorian times that is when Queen Victoria was on the throne

It was only in the last two hundred years that the chimney has grown large enough to hold a man, generous rise to the image of the chimney sweep as it developed in the time of the Industrial Revolution. In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries in Western Europe, was when the roof tops had the room to conveniently get on top off and down of the chimney. With the better town population, the number of houses with chimneys grew quickly and the job of chimney sweep became much more needed. It was also one of the more usually difficult, dangerous, and low-paying jobs of the time period, and as a result has been aimed at in our day as bases of story line for pantomimes.
Strange disease in the Victorian Times were called things like Typhus.
A Victorian chimney sweeper would typically be a young boy, often wearing ragged clothing and a flat cap. They would have soot-covered skin and hair from their work in cleaning chimneys. It was a dangerous and often exploitative job, mainly taken on by children due to their small size.
