The Victorians are credited with inventing childhood, partly via their efforts to stop child labor and the introduction of compulsory education. As children began to be able to read, literature for young people became a growth industry, with not only established writers producing works for children, but also a new group of dedicated children's authors. Engraving taken from page 22 of 'The Children's Fairy Geography, or A Merry Trip Round Europe' by Forbes Edward Winslow, 1879. This classic children's book is still in print over 100 years later!

WELLINGTON MILLS, Strangman Street, Leek, Staffordshire. Exterior view showing the pedimented section with a lamp standard in the foreground. In the 17th and 18th centuries Leek was famed for producing silk of exceptional quality. When this mill was built in 1853, the importing of French and Italian silk into Britain had been illegal for 25 years. The lifting of this ban had a catastrophic affect on the silk workers in areas such as this. Photographed by Eric de Mare in 1956.
