[whats-in-a-sentence]

Women and children found themselves increasingly banned from factory and industrial work in the later years of the nineteenth century, but they continued to struggle for a living in unregulated trades. Henry Mayhew, who observed the poor of London, gave this account of flowersellers in 1851:

Sunday is the best day for flowerselling . . . in the height and pride of the summer four hundred children were selling flowers on Sundays in the streets. The trade is almost entirely in the hands of children, the girls outnumbering the boys by more than eight to one. The ages of the girls vary from six twenty, few of the boys are older than twelve, and most of them are under ten.

Of flowergirls there are two classes. Some girls, and they are certainly the smaller class of the two, avail themselves to the sale of flowers in the streets for immoral purposes, or rather, they seek to eke out the small gains of their trade by such practices. Their ages are from fourteen to nineteen or twenty, and sometimes they remain out offering their flowers until late at night.

The other class of flowergirls is composed of girls who, wholly or partially, depend upon the sale of flowers for their own support or as an assistance for their parents. They are generally very persevering, more especially the younger children, who will run along barefooted, with their, 'Please, gentleman, do buy my flowers. Poor little girl!' or 'Please kind lady, buy my violets. O, do! please! Poor little girl! Do buy a bunch, please, kind lady!'

Kitty Brooks flower seller of Frying Pan Alley.

Ironmongers and braziers used the frying pan as the emblem of their trade, and they would hang a pan outside their shop so people could see what their business was. Over time, the name stuck, even if the frying pans were long gone.
