Childhood employment in Gloucestershire

27/01/2017

John Loosely will explore the many changes in the law concerning the employment and education of children.

During the 19th century there were many changes in the law concerning the employment and education of children , often as a result of pressure from campaigners and the general public. Not everyone agreed with these changes and the talk will explore the employment of children in Gloucestershire, the effects of these changes and the reaction of employers and parents.
