Children were always being beat in different ways. When they got to the factory late or didn't do wat they were suppose to do they would be weighted. That meant that they would be tied to a heavy weight to the child's neck and they would have to walk up and down the isles of the factory. This punishment usually lasted around an hour. It caused children seroius injuries in their back or neck

I have never been to school except four times, and then I gave over because I could not get things to go in. I cannot read; I do not know my letters. I don't know who Jesus Christ was. I never heard of Adam either. I never heard about them at all. I have often been obliged to stop in bed all Sunday to rest myself. I never go to church or chapel.

My name is Hannah Brown. I was born in Bradford in 1809. I started to work at nine years old. I began at six o'clock and worked till nine at night. No time was allowed for my meals. There were punishments. For example, Mr Ackroyd has taken hold of my hair and my ear, and pulled me, and just given me a bit of a shock, more than once.
He also dragged a friend of mine for about three or four yards.
You found the article but it's torn. You have to glue it back
We go at four in the morning, and sometimes at half-past four. We begin to work as soon as we get down. We get out after four, sometimes at five, in the evening. We work the whole time except an hour for dinner, and sometimes we haven't time to eat. I hurry by myself, and have done so for long. I know the corves are very heavy they are the biggest corves anywhere about. The work is far too hard for me; the sweat runs off me all over sometimes. I am very tired at night.

My name is Matthew Crabtree. I was born in Dewsbury in 1810. I started to work in a factory at the age of eight. As a piecener, I worked from six in the morning to eight at night. I was very much fatigued at night when I left my work; so much so, that I sometimes could have slept as I walked, if I had not stumbled and started awake again; and so sick that I could not eat, and what I did eat I vomited.
