The Cotton Famine: distributing tickets for bread, soup, meat, meal, coal etc, at the office of a district provident society, Manchester, 1862. From "Illustrated London News", 1862. Starving Lancashire textile workers queue for food and fuel. 'The soup-kitchen of the Society of Friends at the lower end of Mosley-street...was opened on the 8th of April, and has been in constant operation since...[View of] the antechamber to the kitchen, which is shown below. Here the distribution commences at eight o'clock, and a number of the Friends personally superintend the operation. A large proportion of tickets in exchange for which it is given are purchased by the various relief societies of the town for gratuitous distribution, as part of their relief, in addition to bread and meat. The arrangements are very complete. At present 1000 gallons a day can he made, and that quantity could be largely increased at a small outlay. The actual quantity delivered last week was 17,246 quarts, and the previous week 16,884. In addition to the amount sunk every week, the soup-committee have made considerable grants in soup-tickets to the Provident Society, the City Mission, Ragged School, and other public bodies'.

THE COTTON FAMINE: OPERATIVES WAITING FOR THEIR BREAKFAST IN MR. CHAPMAN'S COURTYARD..., 1862. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The Cotton Famine: operatives waiting for their breakfast in Mr. Chapman's courtyard, Mottram, near Manchester, 1862. Unemployed mill workers. Engraving of a photograph by Mr. Gothard. 'The distress in the cotton-manufacturing districts is not all evil. Like everything else in the world, it has its light as well as its dark side. The silver lining to this cloud is, of course, the vast amount of self-sacrificing charity which it has been the means of bringing to light, and which makes one's heart leap with joy in the midst of its sorrow for the distressed operatives. Look, for example, at the scene...frequently presented in the courtyard of Mr. John Chapman, M.P. for Great Grimsby...Operatives from the cotton-mills of Broadbottom, Stockport, Hatfield, and other places are continually paying visits to and enjoying the beneficence of this gentleman. Twice a week - namely, on Tuesdays and Fridays - some hundreds of them gather here to receive their breakfast, which is given without limitation; and, in addition, hundreds of females obtain, every Friday, relief for their families, which is given to them in the shape of flour, bread, clothing, &c. It is estimated that from 700 to 1000 are the recipients weekly of Mr. and Mrs. Chapman's beneficence'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.

THE COTTON FAMINE: SHOP FOR MILL-HANDS AT MR. BIRLEY'S MILL, MANCHESTER, 1862. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The Cotton Famine: shop for mill-hands at Mr. Birley's mill, Manchester, 1862. Charity for unemployed Lancashire textiles workers. 'Mr. Birley...is affording a noble example of what a right-minded man, with ample means, may do in such a crisis as the present. He is at present maintaining the whole of his people, 1000 in number. They receive from 2s. to 5s. each. The mill is silent, and the machinery is stationary; but some rooms are set apart and warmed for the boys, women, and girls who attend, to learn to read, sew, and knit, under competent teachers. I found there fifty boys and 150 women and girls, who get a dinner every day. The relief is afforded in money or tickets for provisions, and the greatest consideration is observed for the people...The shop shown is also in the mill, and it is always open, so that, with the minimum tickets issued on the weekly relief account, anything can be obtained when wanted. The store contained fine sweet bread, baked on the premises; tea, soap, coffee, bacon, rice, pepper, and seconds flour and meal. Something like thirty sacks of flour and half a ton of bacon melt away from this store every week...Such acts as these should leave an indelible impression on the mill-hands'.

The Cotton Famine: provision-shop where goods are obtained for tickets issued by the Manchester and Salford Provident Society, 1862. Unemployment in Lancashire. 'Tickets for relief, according to the quantities ordered, are delivered by the secretary to the visitors, who carry them to the houses of the recipients, who are thus regularly revisited once a week. The number of cases, persons, and quantities of relief are added up, and the secretary of each ward reports the totals to the general committee at the next meeting, with the equivalent sum of money which he requires for the ensuing week. Relief from the general fund is at present granted only in the shape of bread, soup, coffee, and clothes. The number of visitors is 120. Their services are entirely gratuitous...they consist of the higher class of operatives, tradesmen, and mill overlookers, and are, therefore, men possessed of a good knowledge of the claimants of charity. The objects contemplated by the committee in the application of the funds are to assist those who are struggling to keep themselves from becoming paupers or who have no claim on the parish without being removed, and to afford additional relief beyond the parish allowance in cases which seem to require it'.

The needles are employed for the most part on the new material; but the inmates are also allowed to mend their own clothes.

The Throstle Spinner looks after throstle-frames, which produce warp-threads. She has an assistant, called the Throstle Doffer, a little girl or boy...The duty of Half-timers is to clean the machinery...that of the Power-loom Weaver consists in taking the warp and weft from the spinners and making them into cloth. The Hot-water Woman is one who provides the mill-hands with jugs and hot water for their breakfasts and dinners.

The Cotton Famine: receiving clothes at Bridewell Hospital, London, for the distressed operatives, 1862. '[In Lancashire], the committees for the supply of bedding and clothing [to unemployed textiles workers] are hard at work. They are receiving large supplies from London, where the Bridewell Hospital is set apart as a depot, as well as from other sources...The Artist has shown the sorting and packing room. At this place, since its opening, three weeks since, some 2000 packages of clothing have arrived, some weighing 5 cwt. At the onset some fourteen used to arrive each day, but now the bales come at the rate of 150 a day. They are, unless specially directed, unpacked there, sorted, and repacked in large bales containing a certain number of various articles of dress. The clothing is described by the sorters as excellent, and requiring but little repair. Many bales contain perfectly new suits, especially for children, and the pairs of blankets which arrive are surprising. Two sorters, two packers, a clerk, and a porter to receive the goods are the staff employed. Messrs. Pickford and the Parcels Delivery deliver the bales free of charge, and the London and North-Western Railway Company conveys them without charge to Manchester'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
