| Medlock Street | 7 | 1 | Some of the places visited in these districts are in a miserable condition; the position of many of the workers is saddening to think of, as existing in so rich and prosperous a city as Manchester, and in close proximity to the homes of workmen in other branches of industry whose hours of labour are regulated; both men and women work from 16 to 20 hours per day, the Sabbath included, for less money than their neighbours for 9 or 10 hours per day. |

| Jersey Street | 4 | 6 | In most of these places sewing machines are used by women. The houses did not, in some instances, present the squalid appearance of those seen in other places; yet the effect of long hours is seen even in these homes, and the weary and jaded appearance of the workers reminds us of Thomas Hood's "Song of the Shirt." Although machines are used, it is evident they are a source of profit to the employers, to the injury of the workers. Some of the homes are miserable. |
