Notes
Methods of transport changed dramatically during Victorian times. Railways spread across Britain, making it easier to travel from one part of the country to another, while huge steamships transported people to Australia, Canada and the Far East. In the cities the development of the horseless carriage and the growing popularity of the bicycle meant roads would never be the same again. This book describes these far reaching changes and looks at the impact on the lives of the rich and poor.Contents
