Life in a Victorian factory By Nancy

I can see black smoke and fire, dirty hot machines, people working the machines, children fixing the machines, people hurting themselves and cobwebs and spiders.

I can hear deafening machines, people coughing and sneezing from a disease or from all the smoke, fire crackling, mice or rats squeaking and my boss shouting at me.

I can taste soot from coal, smoke and mould from food and sweat and ash.

I can feel dust on my clothes, wood and rotting fabric, smooth lumps of coal and dirty machines.

I can smell old food, rotting cloth and material, metal and smoke.
