# Cruel Child Labour!

  ![Image of Cruel Child Labour!](https://files.schudio.com/waterside-primary-school/images/blog/image(6).jpg)  14 June 2023

This week in History, we have learned all about the awful life that children had working in factories during the Industrial Revolution. We discussed the Factory Act of 1833 then wrote a diary entry from the point of view from a child worker in a mill in 1833 after studying some historical sources. We couldn’t believe the conditions that children had to work in! Thank goodness it is not like that now!
