From waking people up before alarm clocks existed to carrying messages through dangerous city streets, thousands of workers earned a living doing jobs that vanished as technology, industry, and society transformed during the 20th century.<br /><br />In this video, we explore the bizarre jobs that only existed in 1900s Britain. Discover the strange professions that kept Edwardian and early 20th-century Britain running, including knocker-uppers, rat catchers, mudlarks, human bowling-pin setters, lamp lighters, leech collectors, crossing sweepers, and many other forgotten occupations. Learn why these jobs existed, what daily life was like for the people who performed them, and how modernization eventually made them disappear.<br /><br />Resources:<br />The Victorian City: Everyday Life in Dickens&#039; London – Yale University Press – https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/978030
