- In 1848 there was a great famine in this country. All the seeds that were sown failed, and the following year they had no seeds to sow, and our great grandfathers walked seven or eight miles working, deepening canals, and getting up a midnight as they had no clocks and sometimes they fell asleep before the work was finished in the evening, working for fourpence a day.
