Days as a Victorian kid chimney sweep

I can see… smoke and dust and a lot of birds  all the time.

I can see.. dust, dead birds and  burnt  wood.

I can hear…  people talking on the streets, little mice and rats squeaking.

I can touch… a metal chimney sweep and bumpy brown bricks.

I can taste…. black dust and very bad food at lunch.

I can smell… Dead animals on the roof, smoke that makes me cough and rotten food.

I can see…cobwebs and spiders, rocks and coal, smoke and dust.

I can hear…Pickaxes on coal,rats or mice squeaking,people mining in the coal mine.

I can Feel…sharp rocks on my hands and knees,smooth coal,dust on you clothes.

i can smell…coal and metal,a bad pie, burning coal.

I can taste…very bad food,ash and smoke burning.

Life in a Victorian coal mine.

I can see…coal, people, pic axes mining coal, and cobwebs and spiders.

I can hear…pic axes slamming against the wall  and people mining.

I can taste…disgusting pies and horrible food.

I can feel…a lot of dirt and coal and smooth metal pic axes.

I can smell…dirt, disgusting food and sweaty people.

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.
