No man of humanity can reflect without distress on the state of thousands of children roused from their beds at any early hour, hurried to the mills, and kept there till a late hour of night…kept in an atmosphere impure loaded with noxious dust. Recreation is out of the question. There is scarcely time for meals…I stood in Oxford-row, Manchester, and observed the streams of operatives as they left the mills. The children were almost universally ill-looking, small, sickly, barefoot, and ill-clad.

C. T. Thackrah, "The Effects of Arts, Trades and Professions, and of Civic States Habits of Living, on Health and Longevity.", 1844

Visitor from Rotherham in 1801:

"The town is abominably filthy, the Steam Engine is pestiferous,

the Dyehouses noisesome and offensive,

and the water of the river as black as ink or the Stygian lake."
