From hop-picking in Kent, to opium-eating in Cambridgeshire, we traverse these counties and discover a vast range of places, occupations, and people. We look at education, crime, and destitution in the northern counties. We visit the hop growing, straw-plait, and lace-making districts and spend time with the boot and shoemakers of Northampton. Along our journey through the various counties we again enter the abodes of the agricultural labourers, discovering just how they lived.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Labour and the Poor\", the acclaimed investigation into the poor of England and Wales, was undertaken from 1849 to 1851 by \u003cem\u003eThe Morning Chronicle\u003c\/em\u003e, a leading London-based newspaper of the period.
