Horrible History England
Terry Derry Martin Brown
At one point in the book it talks about how in Colne Bridge in West Yorkshire there was a weaving mill. In 1818 the girls who worked there were ‘trouble’ The owner decided to keep them under control. How? He let them in for work, then bolted the doors. They couldn't get out till they had done their day's work. Sadly that was the day the mill caught fire seventeen girls died. The youngest was just nine years old.
