What was the work of a chimney sweep like in Victorian times?
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.
