15:45What Did your Ancestors Do for a Living?
Nick Hancock presents a five-part series about the jobs of yesteryear that have long since disappeared.
1/5
The Midlands
Ever wondered how your ancestors earned a living a hundred years ago?
Throughout this five part series, Nick Hancock and assorted experts will help to flesh out the jobs of yesteryear that have long since disappeared, and tell us what your ancestors career opportunities would have been like.
The five programmes will look at five geographical areas of the UK. The first of which looks at the Midlands.
The Staffordshire potteries were proud of their traditional skills and regarded mechanisation as unnecessary, and provide a wealth of fascinating job names. We also find out about the jobs provided by mineral quarrying and mining in the area through members of the local family history society, and take a look at the hosiery industry of the East Midlands, that took it out of the local parishes and home workers and into the factory."
