PART I
CHAPTER I
THE EARLY
MARRIED LIFE OF THE MORELS
‘THE
BOTTOMS’ succeeded to ‘Hell Row’. Hell Row was a block of thatched, bulging
cottages that stood by the brook-side on
. There lived the colliers
who worked in the little gin-pits two fields away. The brook ran under the
alder-trees, scarcely soiled by these small mines, whose coal was drawn to the
surface by donkeys that plodded wearily in a circle round a gin. And all over
the countryside were these same pits, some of which had been worked in the time
of Charles II, the few colliers and the donkeys burrowing down like ants into
the earth, making queer mounds and little black places among the corn-fields and
the meadows. And the cottages of these coalminers, in blocks and pairs here and
there, together with odd farms and homes of the stockingers, straying over the
parish, formed the village
of Bestwood.
Then,
some sixty years ago, a sudden change took place. The gin-pits were elbowed
aside by the large mines of the financiers. The coal and iron field of
Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire was discovered. Carston, Waite and Co. appeared.
Amid tremendous excitement, Lord Palmerston formally opened the company’s first
mine at Spinney Park,
on the edge of Sherwood Forest.
About this time the notorious Hell Row, which
through growing old had acquired an evil reputation, was burned down, and much
dirt was cleansed away.
Carston, Waite and Co. found they had struck
on a good thing, so, down the valleys of the brooks from Selby and Nuttall, new
mines were sunk, until soon there were six pits working. From Nuttall, high up
on the sandstone among the woods, the railway ran, past the ruined priory of
the Carthusians and past Robin Hood’s Well, down to Spinney Park, then on to
Minton, a large mine among corn-fields; from Minton across the farm-lands of
the valleyside to Bunker’s Hill, branching off there, and running north to
Beggarlee and Selby, that looks over at Crich and the hills of Derbyshire; six
mines like black studs on the countryside, linked by a loop of fine chain, the
railway.
To accommodate the regiments ofminers,
Carston, Waite and Co. built the Squares, great quadrangles of dwellings on the
hillside of Bestwood, and then, in the brook valley, on the site of Hell Row,
they erected the Bottoms.
The Bottoms consisted of six blocks of
miners’ dwellings, two rows of three, like the dots on a blank-six domino, and
twelve houses in a block. This double row of dwellings sat at the foot of the
rather sharp slope from Bestwood, and looked out, from the attic windows at
least, on the slow climb of the valley towards Selby.
The houses themselves were substantial and
very decent. One could walk all round, seeing little front gardens with
auriculas and saxifrage in the shadow of the bottom block, sweet-williams and
pinks in the sunny top block; seeing neat front windows, little porches, little
privet hedges, and dormer windows for the attics. But that was outside; that
was the view on to the uninhabited parlours of all the colliers’ wives. The
dwelling-room, the kitchen, was at the back of the house, facing inward between
the blocks, looking at a scrubby back garden, and then at the ash-pits. And
between the rows, between the long lines of ash-pits, went the alley, where the
children played and the women gossiped and the men smoked. So, the actual
conditions of living in the Bottoms, that was so well built and that looked so
nice, were quite unsavoury because people must live in the kitchen, and the
kitchens opened on to that nasty alley of ash-pits.
Mrs Morel was not anxious to move into the
Bottoms, which was already twelve years old and on the downward path, when she
descended to it from Bestwood. But it was the best she could do. Moreover, she
had an end house in one of the top blocks, and thus had only one neighbour; on the
other side an extra strip of garden. And, having an end house, she enjoyed a
kind of aristocracy among the other women of the ‘between’ houses, because her
rent was five shillings and sixpence instead of five shillings a week. But this
superiority in station was not much consolation to Mrs Morel.
She was thirty-one years old, and had been
married eight years. A rather small woman, of delicate mould but resolute
bearing, she shrank a little from the first contact with the Bottoms women. She
came down in the July, and in the September expected her third baby.
Her
husband was a miner. They had only been in their new home three weeks when the
wakes, or fair, began. Morel, she knew, was sure to make a holiday of it. He
went off early on the Monday morning, the day of the fair. The two children
were highly excited. William, a boy of seven, fled off immediately after
breakfast, to prowl round the wakes ground, leaving Annie, who was only five,
to whine all morning to go also. Mrs Morel did her work. She scarcely knew her
neighbours yet, and knew no one with whom to trust the little girl. So she
promised to take her to the wakes after dinner.
William appeared at half-past twelve. He was
a very active lad, fair-haired, freckled, with a touch of the Dane or Norwegian
about him.
