Old Stories in a new book & TV series.
I was lucky enough to visit Quarry Bank Mill in 2014 with pbase member Chris. See photos here

The children of the mill, apprentices, lived in this house and worked long hours each day
in the cotton mill. Some as young as 10yrs of age.
Owners of the mill, Samual & Hannah Greg insisted the children be given an education and provided teachers and a doctor to see to their health. Their schooling came at night after long days of work.
Up to 100 children at a time were housed here.
