The Black Country was famous for coal mining back in the day! But working in the mines wasn't just a pretty horrible job because it was so hard, dark, and dirty work; it was also really dangerous. You could be crushed by falling rock, suffocate on gasses, or be caught up in an explosion if any flammable gases caught on fire.

Staying healthy is really important, but with all those factories and mines in the Black Country, doing that was easier said than done. People would get ill and injured a lot back then but not everyone could go to the doctors to get their health problems fixed. The NHS wouldn't be around until 1948 and doctors back in the day were expensive, far too expensive for normal factory workers like so many of the people living in the Black Country were. These people would often rely on their local chemist to give them remedies for their illnesses, and the chemist would design and create these remedies themselves!

That wasn't the only option though, trains were a big deal back then which allowed food and drinks from all over the British Empire to be transported around the country.
