- **Event Description**: When William Blake evoked the “dark satanic mills,” he ignited a centuries-long debate about the true face of industrial Britain. Were cities really cloaked in smog, factories riddled with danger, and slums overflowing with hardship? Did mill owners exploit their workforceor is the truth more nuanced?

This discussion pulls back the soot-covered curtain to reveal the working conditions inside Victorian factories, dissecting the sometimes fraught relationships between labourers and industrialists and tracing the rise of trade unions from embattled beginnings to hard-won victories. Step into the noise, the Victorian factory awaits.
