WiganS Pit Brow Lasses: 40 Fascinating Vintage Photos Of Women Miners In Pants Who Shocked !

There had been a public outcry in the 1830s when it was made public that women and children worked underground, almost naked, in coalmines, and such work was banned in 1842. However women continued to choose to work on the surface, or pit brow, loading coal wagons and grading the coal because it was well paid. They evolved their own dress consisting of heavy duty trousers, like mens, jackets, and skirts rolled up, resembling aprons. This practice caused a great deal of controversy in the 1860s, because it was generally considered that such hard physical tasks, (and the robust independent attitudes of the women who did it) were unwomanly, and the wearing of trousers indecent and objectionable, though to our eyes today it would seem thoroughly practical and decent. Many articles in the press called for such work to be banned, much against the wishes of the pit brow girls themselves, and photographs of the girls in their working dress were produced by photographers in the Wigan area where most of the girls were employed, and found a ready sale to tourists and visitors. 0:00 - Intro ❤️Music❤️ DreamHeaven -    / @dreamheaven   ❤️Subscribe❤️ ?sub_confirmation=1 ❤️About Us❤️ Old Times Photos Revives past stories that need to be shared with You.
