Our picture of a chimney sweep is often Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins. This meticulously researched examination shows a different side to this hazardous trade. The art and science of chimney sweeping are examined in detail for the first time in this lively and fascinating book. From the development of chimneys in the twelfth century, replacing the open cooking fire in a smoke-filled room with a plain hole in the roof, to the patenting of mechanical devices in the late nineteenth century that came to the rescue of many a poor climbing boy, all is revealed. The personalities who dominated the profession, which surprisingly included several women sweeps, are portrayed, along with many illustrations of the tools of the trade. Sweeping techniques, the impact of social reform and the place of the sweep in literature are explored in this absorbing work. With 75 black-and-white illustrations.

"Although it has been an established and essential trade since the twelfth century, chimney sweeping has long been a controversial business. The figure of the chimney sweep became an increasingly common sight on the streets of London with the urbanisation of the eighteenth century, and during the Victorian era the visible plight of the 'poor climbing boys' stirred a growing concern for the welfare of children employed in the trade, inspiring a movement for political reform. Drawing from the original accounts of master sweeps, contemporary literature, parliamentary records and surviving architecture, Benita Cullingford here traces the origin and development of the chimney itself as well as the social and professional aspects of the trade - the lives sweeps led, the dangers they faced, the way they worked and the transformations wrought by the rise of sweeping 'machines' in the nineteenth century"--Back cover.

Infants of the Brush is historical fiction based on Armory v. Delamirie, a 1700s court case before the King's Bench against Paul de Lamerie, a silversmith. In the vein of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist, Infants of the Brush is set in a time when London society ignored the ills of child labor. Unlike the gleeful chimney sweeps portrayed in Mary Poppins, climbing boys were forced up burning flues to dislodge harmful soot and coal ash. Egan Whitcombe is just six years old when he is sold to Master Armory for a few coins that his family desperately needs. As one of Master Armory's eight broomers, Egan quickly learns that his life depends on absolute obedience and the coins he earns. Pitt, the leader of Master Armory's broomers, teaches Egan to sweep chimneys and negotiate for scraps of bread. Broken and starving, the boys discover friendship as they struggle to save five guineas, the cost of a broomer's independence.

Travel to the Scotland Highlands with this classic Hamish Macbeth cozy mystery from the author of the Agatha Raisin series. Death of a Chimney Sweep: A Hamish Macbeth Mystery In the south of Scotland, residents get their chimneys vacuum-cleaned. But in the isolated villages in the very north of Scotland, the villagers rely on the services of the itinerant sweep, Pete Ray, and his old-fashioned brushes. Pete is always able to find work in the Scottish highlands, until one day when Police Constable Hamish Macbeth notices blood dripping onto the floor of a villager's fireplace, and a dead body stuffed inside the chimney. The entire town of Lochdubh is certain Pete is the culprit, but Hamish doesn't believe that the affable chimney sweep is capable of committing murder. Then Pete's body is found on the Scottish moors, and the mystery deepens. Once again, it's up to Hamish to discover who's responsible for the dirty deed--and this time, the murderer may be closer than he realizes.

Set in the streets of London in 1834, Lord Rivers' riveting tale "Charlie the Chimney Sweep" follows a hardworking young chimney sweep and his friends as they work through the day to earn some pocket money. What better way to send children to bed than by regaling them with tales of sweeping out the soot from chimneys, earning some shillings, and buying jellied eels for dinner in the park with friends! All the while some less than reputable fellows in Parliament conspire to keep Charlie from working, likely in order to keep all the money and jellied eels for themselves! This story extols the virtues of hardworking children and lightheartedly demonstrates that not everyone was keen on some of the various "reforms" of 19th century Britain. A brief history of the Chimney Sweepers Acts is to be found at the end. The Chimney Sweepers Act of 1834, herein referenced, was one of the first steps taken towards combating child labour in the United Kingdom in the 19th century.
