4º British: The children who built Victorian Britain

Here you have a list of links that you’ll probably find interesting (specially now that we are so close to the twitter activity...). They are several videos from BBC about the children who built Victorian Britain, working on mines and factories.

You will learn, for example, that these children were the first generation to have their thoughts and experiences thoroughly documented. Diaries, letters, parish records, government reports, and newspapers all add to the picture of these so-called "white slaves."
