A three-year-old chimney sweep from the 1930s

Very young boy works with his father as a chimney sweep. "Here's a little fellow who proves the theory that Chimney Sweepers are born and not made - he works for his Daddy!" Three year old boy walks along behind his father who is carrying a brush. The little boy carries a small step ladder. M/S of the two walking the opposite way down the same road - away from the camera. L/S of the boy and father emerging from a skylight onto a rooftop. M/S of the boy lowering a rope down the chimney - his father pulls on another rope. "Did young Bill have a busy day? Just look him over!" M/S and C/U of the kid looking filthy! He smiles at the camera. Was an item in Eve's Film Review issue number 634. #Chimneysweep #children #work #cruelty #Childlabour #Chimneys #Cleaning #maintenance #house #cleaning #chimney #history
