Distress in Lancashire: mill-hands work on Preston Moors
The distress in Lancashire: mill-hands at work on Preston Moors. Unemployed operatives levelling waste ground on the north side of the town, over seen by inspectors, in preparation for the ground being built on. In exchange for small wages, in this way the unemployed of Preston are kept from want and given useful work. There is no severe exaction of labour, and the men work cheerfully, without the need to remove their coats as navvies do.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the resilience and determination of the unemployed mill-hands of Preston, Lancashire, during the economic hardships of the 1860s. In the barren landscape of Preston Moors, men are seen working diligently, levelling waste ground in preparation for new construction projects. Overseeing the laborers are inspectors, ensuring the work is progressing efficiently. The scene is reminiscent of the relief works initiated during times of high unemployment, providing the unemployed with much-needed income and a sense of purpose. The men work in unison, pushing wheelbarrows laden with soil and debris, their faces etched with focus and determination. The use of manual labor is evident, with pickaxes and shovels in hand, as they dig and level the ground. The atmosphere is far from the harsh and unforgiving conditions of traditional navvy work, as the men work in relative comfort, retaining their coats and working in a cooperative and cheerful manner. This poignant photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of the working-class during a period of economic distress, highlighting their strength and adaptability in the face of adversity.
