Understanding the Impact of Injury and Infection among the Workers and the Wealthy of the Quarry Bank Mill (1847-1920)

采石场磨坊是英国最重要的工业遗产之一。这是一个主要的棉纺和纺织产业，拥有一个工业社区。1845年，弗里德里希·恩格斯（Friedrich Engels）将其紧张的工作环境和“家族式”的阶级结构描述为“父权制奴役”的场所。这个博士研究的是社区的健康和福祉。在历史编纂中，一个关键的干预是比较和对比富有的主人格雷格家族和工人，特别是在健康、伤害和感染方面。该项目将利用当前的科学研究为历史认识提供信息。磨坊可以用来探索一个更广泛的问题，即在过去和现在，不健康和受伤是如何使人们陷入贫困的。

Quarry Bank Mill is one of Britain's leading industrial heritage sites. It was a prime cotton-spinning and weaving estate, housing an industrial community. In 1845, Friedrich Engels described its intense working environs and 'family run' class structure as a site of 'patriarchal servitude'. This PhD examines the health and wellbeing of its community. A key intervention in the historiography is to compare and contrast the wealthy owners, the Greg family, with the workers, especially around health, injury and infection. The project will use current scientific research to inform historical understanding. The Mill can be used to explore the wider question of how ill-health and injury traps people in poverty both in the past and present.
