How much did chimney sweeps get paid in shillings?

Chimney sweeps in the 19th century typically earned very low wages, often around 6 to 10 shillings per week, depending on their age and the amount of work they performed. Child chimney sweeps, who were often employed due to their small size, received even less, sometimes only a few pence a day. The harsh working conditions and long hours meant that their earnings were often inadequate for a decent living.
