I don't think this has been mentioned before (I can't find it, anyway). The whole of the report is available to download from The Coalmining History Resource Centre. The relevant section for Sheffield is Yorkshire 1, which is 5.8MB in size.

It can be hard going, both because of the length of the report and the conditions which children were forced to work under, but there is plenty of interesting detail.
