caa9f758-6f2f-4abb-a351-edcc18774352 | There were problems of cleanliness, feeding and education: the control of infectious disease was almost non-existent and epidemics were frequent. Young children, of as young as six years of age worked in the mills, and the normal hours of employment were 17 a day. The new towns sprang up in the pre-sanitation era, and ... |
cbb244dc-9f2d-4ee6-8c17-8ffd87cb1721 | The population in 1801 was 1,425 and in 1861 it was 3,151. Most of that increase occurred in two decades 1821 7 31 and 1851-61. In the interest of the present day, the late development was fortunate. The first Public Health Act was passed 1848, and this was a permissive one. The procedure for the adoption of this Act w... |

This need for mari... |
848068b0-eb9d-4540-8e77-0cf2442dd02b | Although the Day Nursery was established by a voluntary body, it was looked upon with sympathy, and supported by the Council's Health Committee, because it was believed that the conditions under which the babies were being minded, contributed to the high infantile mortality of the South-West Ward in those days.

It is not suggested that these changes have been brought about entirely because of the industrialisation or even the urbanisation of the district. Other factors have ... |

d8dbd2b2-9a40-4cf7-b0d6-7126fc996840 | Although a definite standard would appear to be essential in the prevention of overcrowding, before the passage of this Act there was no standard which applied to the whole country.
