Sweep chimneys.
Girls weren't chimney sweeps because it was a boys job.
A chimney sweep in the Victorian Era got paid about 10 Shillings in Europe. Less than a dollar in the United States. The chimney sweep himself did very little work. Boys that were small enough, sometimes as young as four, would be trained to do the chimney sweep's job because of the tight spaces. The boys were paid very little and very often got sick with cancer from the fumes.
Boys had to go inside the chimneys, and it was not uncommon for them to get stuck and die there.
climbing boys were boys who went up the chimneys because the chimney sweeps couldn't fit up them
Yes there were a few, but there were many more boys than girls.
They worked as farmers, in Coal mines, as chimney sweeprs etc...
uuh no.
I dont see why boys cant play netball after all it is a sport
They were chimney sweeps, robbers, farm workers(scaring birds from crops or picking up stones from fields), factory workers, or they could work in a coal mine pushing carts to the surface or working pumps and traps allowing air to circulate.
