I think the man on the right side is a chimney-sweeper. He is barefooted because working on a slippery roof was safer without shoes.
I have no clue about the three men with white work coats and I cannot identify what they are carrying on their shoulders. Could it be that they are stove fitters? I think there must be a relationship to the chimney sweeper.
(No time or place given. I suppose 1880s)
During our visit at this plant we bumped in a mass rally for the workes of the factory. A seldome chance to capture some good shots of it during loud barking megaphones and orchestra music. Some people there were quiet confused with our appearance.

A size comparison showing a great big drone (male) next to an ordinary worker (sterile female).
Last summer my mother noticed honeybees swarming around the shed in her backyard, so she called a beekeeper. They turned out to be nesting in the neighbor's shed, and the beekeeper said he could collect them but it would have to wait until spring so the colony would be strong enough to survive. This weekend he came with his girlfriend/assistant and extracted the colony. They marked out the colony location with an IR camera, sawed out that section of 3/4" plywood floor with a circular saw, lifted it out, and turned it upside down on a folding table. Then they disassembled it, comb by comb. The bees they vacuumed up, collecting them in a shopvac-head bucket for later return to the new hive. The honeycomb they harvested. The brood comb they placed in empty beehive frames, holding the pieces in place with rubber bands. They proceeded slowly, looking for the queen the whole time. Just when they were ready to give up, they found her in a remnant of comb back in the shed. The bees were amazingly docile, at least compared to what I had expected. Queen, bees, and comb were reunited in their new digs, a double-decker hive, and are off to a new life in the countryside. The floor was screwed back down, with the exit from the sub-floor airspace to the outside blocked by sprayfoam.

The term "migrant worker" has different official meanings and connotations in different parts of the world. The United Nations' definition is broad, including any people working outside of their home country. Some of these are called expatriates. Several countries have millions of foreign workers. Some have millions of illegal immigrants, most of them being workers also.
The term can also be used to describe someone who migrates within a country, possibly their own, in order to pursue work such as seasonal work.
Situated on Three Mills Green. The inscription says:
Of your charity pray for the souls of Thomas Pickett, Godfrey Maule Nicholson, Frederick Eliott and Robert Underhill, who lost their lives in a well beneath this spot on 12 July 1901. The first named while in the execution of his duty was overcome by foul air. The three latter successively descending in heroic efforts to save their comrades shared the same death…
