New Everton Stadium

It really was another world prior to the welfare state wasn't it?
The 'choice' for those men was "accept the conditions and be paid enough to barely exist, or end up destitute, dying in the workhouse and cast into a paupers grave"
Sorry but what has the welfare state got to do with how people earn a living ?
Even with the welfare state people still work in construction , and it is still one of the most hazardous industries to work in.
The men in that film were skilled workers not indentured , browbeaten serfs 😀
