I have a presentation at school where we have to do stuff about Factories in Britain 1750- 1900, and I have to find out about How old you have to be to leave a factory. A simple answer (I'm in Year 9), or a link will be great but I need to know ASAP!! Thanks :D

Depends what factory. Lol mostly children worked in factories between 6 and 18 then they worked in coal mines, railways etc I think for any age, it would be 60

In search for: 1900 retirement age UK I found a lot of information. Be choosy and find only what you want to know. looking for 1750 Uk I found this web page: Diseases in industrial cities in the Industrial Revolution. From somewhere I remember learning people usually died around the age of 40/45 during the 1700s. I'm you great grandmother so best of luck with that presentation.
