The Mill S01E01 HDTV x264-RiVER

i'll setup a show info page later.
here some quick, general info...

scripted - drama - history

based on the extensive historical archive of quarry bank mill in cheshire and real people's lives, this
powerful drama series depicts britain at a time when the industrial revolution is changing the country
beyond recognition.

in the 1830s, children as young as nine work 12-hour shifts in the mills, and the new class of mill-
owning families prosper. but the so-called 'white slaves of england' are about to take their lives into
their own hands for the first time as outsiders with new ideas enter their world.

the apprentices are led by esther price, a feisty liverpudlian well documented in quarry bank's
archives, who risks her own position to stand up for justice. the arrival of daniel bate - a progressive
young engineer with a troubled past - proves a catalyst for change, and the political firebrand john
doherty seems to offer the workers the possibility of a better future.

thanks for posting this. the title sounded promising. your info makes me want to see this show.

i grew up in the north west of england, all through primary school and a bit of high school each time we
studied the industrial revolution or local history (which is mainly the industrial revolution) we always went
on a trip to that mill. being a child visiting the mill at the same age children would have worked at the mill
(and were educated) was very poignant for me but i do have happy memories of a wonderful hot
summers day walking down the hill where the old workers houses still stood, walking up the river by the
wheel that powered the mill, being in the huge rooms full of machinery and how loud it was in there with
only one machine working.
its amazing to think that the entire world changed thanks to the industrial revolution and places like quarry
bank mill.
i will certainly give this show a watch!

i hope it is not as depressing as "the village" otherwise i love period drama, but that one left me
squirming i stay away from dickens for the same reason
