Chimney Sweepers Act 1875

The Chimney Sweepers Act 1875 was a British Act of Parliament that superseded the Chimney Sweepers and Chimneys Regulation Act 1840 passed to try to stop child labour. The Bill was proposed by Lord Shaftesbury triggered by the death of twelve year old George Brewster who whose master had caused to climb and clean the chimney at Fulbourn Hospital

The 1840 Act prohibited any person under 21 being compelled or knowingly allowed to ascend or descend a chimney or flue for sweeping, cleaning or coring.^[1]. This Act ensured all chimney-sweeps would be registered with the police, an official supervision of their work would take place. The provisions of all previous acts would now take place. ^[2]
