The Victorian era was one of the most remarkable in British history; it saw The Industrial Revolution, the growth of major cities, the birth of the British Empire, and huge advances in medicine, transport, and education. It was also a time when harsh working conditions, child cruelty, and desperate poverty blighted the lives of the majority of the people of the country. Incorporating rare footage from the end of Queen Victoria’s reign, this film presents an uncomplicated picture of the era, focusing on aspects of everyday life.
