Inspired by the Powerful True Story. Based on a powerful true story The Mill is a four-part drama set in the turbulent year of 1833 a time when industry is sweeping children as young as nine into the factories and mills to work 12-hour days. But things are about to change as one feisty young girl Esther Price (Kerrie Hayes) decides to take a stand against the mill-owners and the lackeys who rule their tired and hungry lives. The Greg family pride themselves on treating their workers fairly; but in the hands of those who carry out their orders from the Timperleys... maintaining the apprentice house to those overseeing the mill floor kindness can soon become cruelty with injustice and suppression the norm. But the world is changing. Inside Daniel Greg the mill-owner's son is taking over the business and modernising ruthlessly; while outside civil disobedience is on the rise. Times are changing for better or worse and the balance of power is about to fall into the hands of a young girl called Esther Price.

Four-part drama set in 1833 at the height of the British Industrial Revolution. At the heart of the story is Esther Price (Kerrie Hayes), a girl who works in a factory owned by the Greg family. Like many of her peers, Esther struggles with the low pay, long shifts and dangerous working conditions that were the hallmark of Britain's factories in the 19th century. However, unlike many others, Esther is prepared to stick up for herself - an astonishing feat of bravery given the ruthlessness of the men who oversee her work. Will she help inspire a change for the better?
