Why did Victorian bath rarely?
Victorians did not bathe as regularly as we do today because many people lived in poor conditions. Until the late Victorian period many people lived without running water to their homes. You would have to fetch your water from a well or a local pump. The only way of heating this water was then by fire, so you can imagine how much time and effort you would have to go through to have a bath. In Victorian times it was common practise to go to public bath houses, a bit like public swimming pools but you would go there to wash and to socialise. Males and females always bathed seperatly.

Where can you find a steeplejack?
Steeplejacks construct steeples and chimneys. They also clean chimneys. So they would be part of the construction trade.
What did the colonists use to clean the chimney?
They didn't clean it and because of that it often caught fire. Many houses burned down as a result. In Jefferson's slave quarters the historians found nails that were in a pattern and for a long time they couldn't figure out why. Finally, it was discovered that the nails came from chimneys of the slave quarters. The chimneys were made so when they caught fire they could be pulled down saving the house. This left the pattern of nails on the ground. Many houses were also built to have separate kitchens for the same reason. Kitchens often caught fire because of the cooking so they built them apart from the main house. You can see an example of this at Mt. Vernon.
Why is it preferable to have tall chimneys in factories and houses?
For 3 reasons: 1/ Simple chimneys take the smoke away from a fire because the warm air inside them rises; taller chimneys have more height for this to happen so work better. This explains 10' chimneys sticking above single story houses but not really big modern industrial chimneys; it would be much cheaper to use a fan! (Early industrial chimneys were built for this reason before mechanical ventilation was economic.) 2/ Various eddies and back drafts happen around house roofs on windy days. These can blow blasts of smoke back down the chimney into a house. Having the chimney a bit above the surrounding roofs considerably reduces this. This is why chimneys tend to stick at least 3' above the roof even on tall buildings. 3/ Probably the most important reason is pollution. Certainly this is the reason for really big modern industrial chimneys. By releasing the nasty gases that come out of chimneys at great height they will have mixed with a lot of air and should be at "safe" levels by the time they get back to ground level and people breath them in. This doesn't stop pollution of the wider area or planet but it does avoid the problem of extreme air pollution at the outlet point.

Why did they put children in factories in Victorian times?
Children were miserable and did not have a life. They swept chimneys and worked in factories. They didn't get paid and even if they did, children did not get paid very much. Children worked as hard as adults (at least they tried to) and they got nothing!!! The Victorian era was hard for children.Children were miserable and did not have a life.
