Channel 4's The Mill captivated viewers with the tales of the lives
of the young girls and boys in a northern mill. Focusing on the
lives of the apprentices at Quarry Bank Mill, David Hanson's book
uses a wealth of first-person source material including letters,
diaries, mill records, to tell the stories of the children who
lived and worked at Quarry Bank throughout the nineteenth century.
This book perfectly accompanies the television series, satisfying
viewers' curiosity about the history of the children of Quarry
Bank. It reveals the real lives of the television series' main
characters: Esther, Daniel, Lucy and Susannah, showing how
shockingly close to the truth the dramatisation is. But the book
also goes far beyond this to create a full and vivid picture of
factory life in the industrial revolution. David Hanson has written
an accessible narrative history of Victorian working children and
the conditions in which they worked.
