I realise it was because of the conditions they had to endured.Seven of my ancestors died in Oaks mine in Barnsley in 1866. These included an eleven year old and his two teenage bothers. Profit was always put before the safety of workers. Thank god for the labour movement

Life expectancy of the working class in Leeds was 19 by 1840 and was similar in Bradford. Less than African American slaves. No surprise then that the workers were so young
