Norwich Historic District
A young Roanoke Cotton Mills employee
- ... that some mill workers (example pictured) in a historic district in Virginia gave their ages as fourteen despite appearing much younger?
- Source: "Due to increased scrutiny in the mills, when questioned, children routinely stated they were fourteen to avoid punishment. But the photographs Hine took indicate the children were likely far younger." Talley, Cassandra; Cook, Katie; Candela, Lillian (March 2024). "Norwich HD 2024 NRHP Nomination Final" (PDF). Virginia Department of Historic Resources. Page 43
- ALT1: ... that early residents of a historic district in Virginia were "disowned and neglected by both" the county and nearby city where they resided? Source: "The little settlement lay in the county, but the government of that political division looked upon Norwich as a problem of Roanoke City so the Norwichians were disowned and neglected by both."

- New enough (Mar 13), long enough (8100 B), cited to reliable sources, no copyvio (Earwig says 37.9% but only proper nouns). Both hooks are interesting. ALT0 verified in source; AGF on sourcing for ALT1. Image is high-quality and used in article. I'm not sure if it really looks good when scaled down, but I'll approve it to run with ALT0. Good work. — Vigilant Cosmic Penguin 🐧 (talk | contribs) 23:38, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for your review, Vigilantcosmicpenguin! I admittedly share your concerns about the image at a small size, but it really makes ALT0 hit home so I hope it can be used. Thanks again. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 13:10, 25 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Vigilantcosmicpenguin: sorry for the additional ping, but I just realized that it looks like you forgot to add the DYKtick template with your review, so this is still in the Awaiting approval queue. Just throw that bad boy on here when you get the chance, thanks! DrOrinScrivello (talk) 13:34, 25 March 2025 (UTC)
