Shaw\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharles Shaw was born in Tunstall, Staffordshire in 1832. When I Was A Child is an autobiographical account of his early life working in the pottery industry-first, at the age of seven, as a mould-runner, and later as a handle maker. He describes many incidents in his life, including a brief spell in the workhouse, a rare outing to Trentham, the Pottery Riots of 1842, and how he eventually became a local preacher. The book is a moving, first-hand record of social conditions and child labour in the pottery industry, and provides a fascinating insight into the social history of The Potteries. Shaw's work originally appeared in 1893 as a series of anonymous articles in the Staffordshire Sentinel and, in 1903, it was published as a book under the title An Old Potter. 110 years later, this re-issued edition brings his recollections to a new, twenty-first century audience, revealing what life was really like for the working classes in the 1840s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 228\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.52 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 01, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47346839355577,"sku":"9780957670419","price":36.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/4309\/4713\/files\/Z0aK7hxfzf9780957670419.webp?v=1780519839","url":"https:\/\/thoobo.com\/products\/when-i-was-a-child-growing-up-in-the-potteries-in-the-1840s-paperback","provider":"Thoobo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
