High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Robert Charleton (1809 1872) was a Quaker, Recorded Minister and a prominent citizen of Bristol. He was a philanthropist and ran a pin-making factory which was noted for its good employment practices. He was an advocate of total abstinence and peaceful relations between nations. Robert Charleton ran one of the largest factories in East Bristol, at Two Mile Hill, Kingswood, from 1831 to 1852. It was inspected by Elijah Waring, the Sub-Commissioner for South Gloucestershire, for the Childrens Employment Commission (1840). The report describes the working condition of the workers, and the outworkers. In 1841 Robert Charleton employed about 110 women and girls and 50 men and boys in the factory. In addition, about 500 women and girl outworkers were employed at heading and sticking. Pin making is a good example of the survival of the pre-industrial system of outwork well into the Victorian years of factory based industrial organisation.
