SUBJECT: The lives of children in Victorian Britain
Dear Christine,
You asked me for help about your school project – the lives of children in Victorian Britain. I was also
interested. I searched online and found out the following.
In Victorian Britain, thousands of people came to
the cities to work in the factories.Instead of the green,
open countryside, people lived in very small houses,
very close to each other, with no space for children to
play. Families in those days were quite big. Often,

SUBJECT: The lives of children in Victorian Britain
there were four or five children in one family, and they
all had to sleep in houses of just two rooms. Sometimes,
a whole street had to share one outside toilet. Can you
imagine that
Most of the big cities were dirty and unhealthy. The
pollution from factories filled the air. People put their
rubbish outside in the streets. As a result, there were
many illnesses.
And life was harder for children in those times.They
didn’t always go to school, because they had to work
instead. Many children started work in factories when

they were only four or five years old. They worked
twelve hours a day in dangerous jobs for very little
money. Many were hurt in accidents with machines.
I hope this is helpful. Write to me if you need more
information.
With love,
Gran

Listening
The modern car has changed life a great deal. Before the invention of the car, people had to travel by rail, on horseback or by horse-drawn carriage, or on foot. Using horses for travel was slow, and of course walking was even slower. Cars allow people to travel long distances quickly, in comfort and convenience. The car also solved an enormous problem caused by using horses for transport in cities: manure! There were so many horses in large cities that it was almost impossible to get rid of the manure. Modern people are used to the idea that cars cause pollution, but the first cars actually made cities cleaner!
