Boys being winched up a mine shaft at Halifax, Yorkshire
Two boys being winched up from a coal mine at Halifax, Yorkshire. The winch is extremely primitive with no safety features. An official investigation in 1842 revealed that children as young as seven were being apprenticed to work in mines, in some cases placed there by workhouses
