Robert Blincoe (c.1792-1860) was orphaned at a young age and by 1796 was living in the St Pancras workhouse in London. Aged six he was sent to work as a chimney sweep's assistant but was soon returned to the workhouse. A year later he was sold to work in a cotton mill near Nottingham, tasked with picking up loose cotton waste from the cotton frames whilst the machines were operating, a dangerous occupation which resulted in the loss of half a finger. Conditions were extremely bad with long working hours, poor food and frequent beatings. When the mill closed in 1802 he was sent to Litton Mill in Derbyshire where his treatment remained the same. By 1813 Blincoe had completed his effective apprenticeship in stock weaving and continued as an adult worker until 1817. He then left to found his own cotton-spinning business and married two years later. In 1822 journalist John Brown met Blincoe and interviewed him for an article on child labour. Brown decided to write Blincoe's biography and gave it to social activist Richard Carlisle who published it in five weekly instalments in his newspaper The Lion in early 1828. In 1832 it was published as a pamphlet which led the government to investigate the poor conditions in the mills. It has been claimed that Charles Dickens based his character Oliver Twist on Blincoe but there is no firm evidence to support this.

From a parish workhouse to the heart of the industrial revolution, from debtors' jail to Cambridge University and a prestigious London church, Robert Blincoe's political, personal and turbulent story illuminates the Dickensian age like never before. In 1792 as revolution, riot and sedition spread across Europe, Robert Blincoe was born in the calm of rural St Pancras parish. At four he was abandoned to a workhouse, never to see his family again. At seven, he was sent 200 miles north to work in one of the cotton mills of the dawning industrial age. He suffered years of unrelenting abuse, a life dictated by the inhuman rhythm of machines. Like Dickens' most famous character, Blincoe rebelled after years of servitude. He fought back against the mill owners, earning beatings but gaining self-respect. He joined the campaign to protect children, gave evidence to a Royal Commission into factory conditions and worked with extraordinary tenacity to keep his own children from the factories. His life was immortalised in one of the most remarkable biographies ever written, A Memoir of Robert Blincoe. Renowned popular historian John Waller tells the true story of a parish boy's progress with passion and in enthralling detail.

Childhood And Child Labour In The British Industrial Revolution written by Jane Humphries and has been published by Cambridge University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2010-06-24 with History categories.
This is a unique account of working-class childhood during the British industrial revolution, first published in 2010. Using more than 600 autobiographies written by working men of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries Jane Humphries illuminates working-class childhood in contexts untouched by conventional sources and facilitates estimates of age at starting work, social mobility, the extent of apprenticeship and the duration of schooling. The classic era of industrialisation, 1790–1850, apparently saw an upsurge in child labour. While the memoirs implicate mechanisation and the division of labour in this increase, they also show that fatherlessness and large subsets, common in these turbulent, high-mortality and high-fertility times, often cast children as partners and supports for mothers struggling to hold families together. The book offers unprecedented insights into child labour, family life, careers and schooling. Its images of suffering, stoicism and occasional childish pleasures put the humanity back into economic history and the trauma back into the industrial revolution.
