Victorian London - Liza Picard - Audio Book

Victorian London - Liza Picard : The years 1840 to 1870 were years of dramatic change and achievement in London. As suburbs expanded and roads multiplied, the city was ripped apart to build railway lines and stations. Many practical innovations, such as flushing lavatories,
underground railways, umbrellas and letter-boxes, were introduced.

But there was also appalling poverty and exploitation and, for the labouring classes, pay was
pitifully low, the hours long and job security non-existent.

When we listen to this audio book it reminds us of what Charles Dickens already wrote about England and London. Its a real introspection about the splendour and misery of that extraordinary period. Just go for it.
