Notes
During Victorian times holidays, leisure pursuits and sports became an important part of many people’s lives. Trips to the seaside, bank holidays, and evenings at the music halls helped to ease the drudgery of people who worked, while the wealthy held grand house and garden parties. Sports such as football, tennis and cricket were organised into leagues and championships. This book describes these developments and the impact they had on the lives of rich and poor alike.Contents
