To give the reader some idea of what 3d was worth in 1848 the poor in Manchester could get water for 1d a week and bread cost 1d a loaf. Lemons were luxury foods, costing 6d each. Manchester and Salford Advertiser, 3 Jan, 8 Feb, 7 June 1848. As for wages, by 1840 the standard factory workers averaged two shillings a day and by 1846 a skilled man was poached by another firm who offered him 32 shillings a week.
