Chimney sweep whose death changed child labour laws honoured with blue plaque George Brewster, youngest to get plaque, died aged 11 in 1875 after getting stuck in flue, leading to law banning ‘climbing boys’

11-year-old chimney sweep George Brewster was forced up a flue measuring just 12x7.5 inches.

His death, after becoming jammed inside, finally galavanised parliament to act.

Never forget what cruelties would be inflicted by greed were it not for “red tape”.
