Why Was Baking The Most Deadly Job In The Victorian Era? | Victorian Bakers | Absolute History
Four 21st-century bakers bake their way through the era that gave us modern baking as we know it - the reign of Queen Victoria. Experts Alex Langlands and Annie Gray join them to tell the incredible story of our daily bread.
The bakers have left the rural bake house and the golden age of baking behind, this time it’s the 1870s and they’re moving into an urban bakery in the midst of the Industrial Revolution.
Their new bakery is totally authentic and it boasts two coal-fired ovens. At this time it is coal that fuels Britain’s epic industrial expansion and bread that feeds its ever-expanding urban workforce. A growing middle class start demanding ’fancy breads’ for breakfast and so the bakers must now bake through the night.
