- 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 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.

That's the way History should be taught!

It still is :))
My Grandad Beach was born in 1887 and had just started work down a coal mine when Queen Victoria died, he died in 1975 when I was 17. He was christened William Henry Bach, his father was German, in 1914 he was nearly interned for the war but was saved by the good references from the Vicar and his employers. He inserted an E into his name becoming Beach at least 3 of his sons served in WW2. He never spoke about his hardships and raised 10 children.
My Dad was called Fred Beech, born in 1928.
How far back can you trace your ancestry ???
@@devogrant2817 About 5 generations but I did some work for my cousin David Beach, I`m an electrician, and he had been on Ancestry.com and traced it all the way back to Germany which he told me about. I knew of the name change and possible internment from my Uncles and Aunts.
@@fredbeach2085 That's pretty good ....because most working class people find it really hard to go back beyond three generation ...I presume if you go about searching in a more detailed way ....you have better results !!
Wow thanks for sharing. :)

Because history is good for ya ;)

Bc history is important and very interesting.
An uncle of mine born in 1900 in Birmingham was considered well educated having grade 6. The family emigrated to Canada in 1912. They knew and were lucky enough to get out of England. In 1916 he returns to England to fight in WWI. He was lucky to survive and make it back to Canada.
I watch this to make me feel better about my life and my job. Here I am complaining about working 10.5 hour night shifts, but its a cake walk compared to working back then
Comparing things like that is nonsense. Working 10 and a half hours is also pretty bad in today's society.
I’m watching for the same reason, to feel better about my life circumstances.
It may make you feel better, but you should go watch a documentary next on the Progressive Era that preceded this one to realize that the struggle towards freedom is never over, and the most foolish thing we can do is consign it to 'ancient' history or assume the work to be ultimately accomplished long ago. No one should be working 10.5 hour shifts; I thought the Progressives succeeded in making it only 8 hours by law.
@@airportsecurityaustria182 shows how lazy today’s society has become
10.5 shifts? I don't do that in a month !
As an American uneducated in English history I found this to be very well done. Thank you!
Me,too !!!! But, it was very much like America !
As an American I am under the opinion that British history is American history. Our societies are unbreakingly intertwined. Teaching this, I believe, is a most dreadful oversight in the American educational system.

As of right now, Queen Elizabeth II is the longest reigning monarch in UK history.
QE II is the longest living , yet she like those before her , care not for the poor. She has created a nanny state not a great deal better than the Victorians. The wealthy of the UK still care nothing of the lower incomes. The wealthy still strut around ignoring the problems of the poor. They do give them just enough for minimal food and possibly lodging if they are lucky. The obvious drug addictions and homeless in the country is proof of this. Britain’s class system still exists today. The wealthy still ignore the plight of the poor and the Royals set the standard. There isn’t a single member of the upperclass that can relate to the working class in any way. Here in the US we do have lower income families and communities but , they are still afforded a good education and ample food and lodging for their families.

I was born in 1987. It's crazy to think my great grandfather died in a mine and my great grandmother died of lye poisoning.

Hello from Ireland 👍
@@paddioche Couldn't get a more Irish name than yours!
What great genes you come from
Every era has been difficult in their own ways
This is true... But, this was time of full blown inventions.
So, it was kind of brutal. Alot lost their lives in the name of invention.
But yes, I do agree every era has their bad, but ALSO good. That's what they DON'T talk about! 🤷,🤔👌✌️
@@laceylewis9874 what was good?
@@laceylewis9874 there was nothing good during the Victorian era. If you could go back during that era i don't think you will even survive 24 hours.
👍 everything is relative, I hear you 🍺
No. Not true. Only certain ones.
When you consider the wealth concentrated in London 150 years ago. That they turned a blind eye to people living absolute squalor is scandalous.
...and yet, it still goes on to this day.
At least ours pay lip service. Especially our celebs and politicians😒.
You likely typed that on a computer made in China, in a house full of things made in China, likely made by workers living in similar squalor, with no political voice or labour representation. Who's turning a blind eye?
squire haggard worker conditions in China are around the same of Australia
A bit like today..i would think...unfortunate that there always has..and always will be..The great divide of a class Society...
So much missed out, in fact a one sided history. Yes it tackled the endemic poverty but it completely overlooked the Labour struggles of the Victorian age and the formation of trade unions. The unions and workers co-ops were instrumental in improving the living standards of workers. Working class people weren't handed rights, they had to fight for them, sometimes being killed in the process but this was completely ignored in this documentary.
Exactly this
if only military would side with workers, as they indeed share the same class struggle, these aristocrats are only as powerful as their military, you never see a king or a president out pursuing strikers or picketers in the street, they watch from above like its a game of cricket. this leaves us with the question, how to align the military and the workers
yeah they should have packed all 60 years into those 60 minutes which nothing left out. Good point.
Must suck to live in Europe, we didn’t need unions in America (that’s coming from someone whose family relied upon them) they hindered us, they hurt our cities, they were dirty and in bed with gangsters or political radicals, either way scamming the very people they claimed to protect as often as corporations have given us the stiff one in America. Quality of life here was organic unlike in Europe, but the entitlements are not and have caused many of America’s modern problems today,
Agreed, would have been helpful to include considering the goal they set out to achieve with the film.
The actor/narrator that does the book reading is great!
Why, as long as I can remember, have I felt I should be living in the later Victorian era?
Me too 😊
Today the poor live better than the rich. Better system of travel, communication , entertainment, food quality and variety . Imagine traveling in a horse and carriage and steam/sail ship to cross a ocean. Fire hazard just have a night light to read a book (only home entertainment) and no refrigeration.
I,d rather be lower mid class now than rich back then.
@@Crashed131963 it's not that I want to necessarily. Just that I should.
Me too..
So do I. I have always that feeling that I belong to the Victorian Era!
I'm not sure those who lived in terrible conditions or in workhouses missed her that much! A great monarch would have tried to alleviate their sufferings. She either didn't know (should have) or didn't care.
Queen Victoria was constrained by the reality of the constitutional monarchy. She was not a ruling queen the way Queen Anne was (and able to veto bills). She could not do what the politicians took out of her hands. Perhaps she wouldn't have done any better, but we'll never know. It was the PM and ruling parliament of the day who owns this state of things.
Maybe she did know and didn't care
VERY probably didnt care
Parliament was in control of the country not the queen ! Those days ceased a long time before !
She probably didn’t know the extent of the poverty, and didn’t have the constitutional power to do much about it if she did. Regardless, it’s unfair to judge a person from the 19th century using 21st century values. She would be condemned for her ignorance today, but she acted accordingly for the period of time she lived. The past should be learned from, not judged using current standards of morality.
This narration made me feel like I was a child with someone reading me a bedtime story.
Lol

The Custodian Helmet is the headgear traditionally worn by male police constables and sergeants while on foot patrol in England and Wales. Officers of all ranks in most forces are also issued a flat, peaked cap that is worn on mobile patrol in a vehicle. Ranks above sergeant wear the peaked cap only. However, some Inspectors wear the Custodian Helmet, but with two silver bands around the base (to match the two pips worn as rank insignia) to denote their position.
Claimed by some sources to have been based on the spiked pickelhaube worn by the Prussian Army, it was first adopted by the London Metropolitan Police in 1863 to replace the "stovepipe" top hat worn since 1829. In 1863, the Metropolitan Police replaced the previous uniform of white trousers, swallow-tailed coat and top hat in favour of very dark blue trousers, a more modern button up tunic and the early type of helmet which had an upturned brim at the front and a raised spine at the back, running from the bottom to the top of the helmet, which became known as the "cockscomb".
Married her first cousin !
Inbreeding was common with the Royals.
All royals were related. In breeders galore!
This is one of the many reasons I hate royalty.
I don't hate the individual.
I hate the idea of royalty all together.
@@TheAhkenaten1 A “cousin marriage” is the wedding of 2 people related by blood through an earlier generation. Throughout history, cousin-to-cousin marriages have been an essential means of maintaining stability among royal classes. By marrying their own, most royals are binding their ties to the next generation and by sharing ancestors they maintain the genetic pool.
Theres a method in their madness!

Photographs and early film are evidence of the deplorable quality of inner city air back then. Because industry and people's homes used coal everything was covered in a layer of coal dust, the smoke hung thick in the air and created deathly fogs which choked people. Air today, particularly inner-city air, is so much cleaner and, while polluted by engine fumes, can in no way be described as reaching almost extinction levels. We've, to coin a phrase, never had it so good.
circa 1700 there was no smog OR engine fumes
This was an excellent video. Thank you so much. 💓
I wish whoever put this together had the Common Sense to turn up the Sound!!!!!
Very true.
It was an incredible time, but also a horrible time. The British working class deserve an apology, for the incredible cruelty directed at them by the so-called upper class.
Supposedly, Victoria cared about her subjects. Turns out that she didn't. Probably not a good time to live in England.
What if she did? That could've been different.
@Tony Angel This is a what-if scenario I have in mind. If Queen Victoria did care about her subjects, that could've been better.
@@reneastle8447 When did any member of the 'Royal ' families care about their subjects...throughout history....in any country?
Victoria's self obsession in mourning her Albert gave the entrepreneurs and politicians the opportunity to get on with making Britain Great....
For the aristocracy the common man was exactly that...common and disposable.
@@catrionamacfarlane4949 You may never know. Someday, the royal families will finally wake up, care for their subjects and do whatever they can to set things right.
@@reneastle8447 Let's face it....the whole concept of 'royal' is an anachronism in the modern world.
Conversation was not allowed at meal times in my family! My dads mother from Liverpool raised the family that way indeed. Even my generation in the 1960s my dad did not allow conversation at dinner! Conversation could start when tea was served after dinner. So the same rules 100 years out in and English family in Canada. My Irish neighbours by contrast chatted loudly at every meal. Strange.
I admit I feel sorry for those born a Brit, whatdya gonna do
Maybe it’s me, but I’m having some difficulty with the volume of this video, which BTW is very interesting. Low volume coupled with the English accent that tends to sound mumbled,
makes some of this hard to hear. I turned the volume up as loud as possible, but I’m thinking this was recorded at a lower volume. All other videos on my iPhone have more than adequate volume. Maybe it’s just me.
Sounds clear to me..
Just you
Yes, I am also finding the volume lower than usual.
Great video though, so am staying nearer to see and hear it all 😊
It is the same way for me as well, It appears to be the accent.
@@darknebula9367 I have the same problem with American accents, particularly the Southern states.
The Victorian age was not just a British thing. Springfield Massachusetts USA is still called the city of homes due to the many Victorian homes that were built there. It also was a major factory town once were the US Army and Navy produced Almost all their firearms and cannon. Many of the homes were torn down from 1900 to the 1970s before people took an intreat in saving them making historic districts. My parents live in an 1897 large Victorian home. Three floors, three fireplaces, 4 full bathrooms, maid lived on the 3rd floor. A big 4500 sq ft home. Has a room off the living room with a sink and marble shelves to cut and arrange flowers. Was a different era for sure.
@@sudanemamimikiki1527 To this day American love stories about the Royals.
Dickens wrote on his personal experience growing up as well
I think its discusting that Victoria had so much and wanted more ,and most of the population were so very very poor ,how can you exalt Victoria when people through no fault of their own had NOTHING and I mean NOthing -shameful, I think NOTHING of her ,Greedy
Couldn't agree more.... Well said!
Look at the royals of today.. they don't care either..
Better her than so many others who might have been in her stead. She didn’t set up the system and the crown also comes as a burden in spite of the wealth that goes with it. She only was doing what she thought was her duty, and what she felt her people wanted. This didn’t begin with her nor end with her and pretty much all countries have poverty stricken populations, even more deprived. In terms of monarchs, she was considered to be rather liberally minded.
I sometimes despair of comments sections. Other times I wonder why they are shut off...then I read some and despair again.
The written descriptions of life in Victorian London sparkle, dance and shimmer and bring to life just what each class did and could not do!
The Titanic put and end to the Era of Classes !!! Alot of the Uppers died with the Poor !
Excellent documentary, very captivating. You've got me hooked..... New subscriber here🇬🇧🇨🇦
It is always interesting to see how a nation portrays itself, which story its people it tells, and what it omits. In the case of this documentary the last ten minutes about foreign policy are absolutely puke provoking.
Too eurocentric to your liking?
They are statements of facts and simply reflect how the Victorians perceived the world. That the sentiments offend your woke sensibilities doesn't change history as it was for those that lived it. You can hardly think the overall story is self congratulatory, or if you do then that says more about you than it does the programme.
Yet the world is what it is today because of it. They were visionary and made our modern world.

@@balthiersgirl2658 Where do they get the money? you still didn't answer the question. They are so much in debt from printing money they can't just print endlessly. It causes inflation. If you can't come up with any ideas from where to get the wealth then you aren't really giving an answer to the problem. So again I ask you . Where do they get the money?
As you can see, there's a reason why communism was created during this time. Weather you agree on it or not, you have to accept that it was a reaction to these harsh conditions. Not to mention slavery was in America too.
Gulags , concentration camps

I like that this is a straightforward account, not romanticized. We use “Victorian” mistakenly quite often, to mean “loosely resembling the old west and Europe at once and very trendy” but it is actually yet another royal lineage on this earth, with its own fashion and influence and consequences, many of which to me are just the average trappings of royalty and power, and people trying desperately to imitate that. If I were to emulate anyone from the past, it would be a country gentleman of modest income, venturing into town for cultural events, and divorced from politics. Well dressed of course. Oh wait you can do that now!
An unprecedented effort of showing usefully informative treasures regarding British History.
High aspirations but very low moral fibre. For the most life was hard and short the rich barely cared the poor fed on each other. Horrific to modern sensabilities.
System kept in place by the church. It preached each to their own place, as god assigns. So, to be upset about how horribly you were being treated, was to be disrespectig God. The church got their freedom & $, the government/big business got their control. Still works like that in the USA, which is why even the very religious should be strongly in favor of separation of church & state. Too much power tied up like that make it almost impossible for the majority of citizens to have any power.
Nothing has changed and in 150 yrs they'll be saying the same about us
There is always a barrier between the rich and the poor.
Low moral fiber... You sct as though you wete there and you also can see into the ❤ just like YHVH... Are you god...??? Of course i am being rhetorical...moron...
People moan now about the rich getting richer and poor getting poorer today, but most 'poor' people nowadays can afford a TV and an iPhone, a holiday and decent amount of clothes. Life has gotta be better now than then.
You see the flashy country homes of tutor, victorian, Stuart wealthy people looked after by the National Trust, the rich have always flaunted their money shamelessly. We are just more aware of how the other half live cos of tv and the Internet.
Brilliant documentary.
Victoria, regent of the Age named for her, should have been ashamed of every day of her long, oppressive, compassionless life. Her "Age," historically considered a period of imperial and commercial advancement for Britain, was in fact massively defined by the wealthy class' cruel and contemptuous exploitation of 90 percent of the country's starving, miserable, and excruciatingly overworked poor.
I watch a lot of these British historical videos, n this one is the best I Ve seen so far!!! Very concise n memorable n easy to absorb n listen to!! Awesome video!! Thanks for the post!!!
I am forever grateful to Victorian times; it's how I know which side of the plate to put my fork and which side to put my knife. I cannot even fathom what life would be like without that information.
Ah, yeah, no..... there was the industrial revolution, revolutionary breakthroughs in arts and science, wish shaped the world as we know it today. Education system, The things we say, way we act in public, our penitentiarys, little nursey rhymes you read as a kid, ect...most things we do today come from this time in history than any other.
You're pitiful n hopeless
Ha, sign of the times, I thought the kid in the thumbnail was pulling down on his face mask not eating bread 😅
😂😂😂😂😂😂
omg same I didn’t even realise I’d assumed that... wow 😂
I am deeply satisfied and curious about what life was like in the 1800s and how things have changed until now in 2020. what the people thought of the future would look like and be life.
Dickens could only go so far in his writing. Could you imagine the child molestation that went on. Little children on the street, in factory’s, and no choice but to join a gang to protect oneself from so many evils. .
bruh why does plumbella have this in her cottage living thingy
I liked the documentary. It was interesting. The one complaint I have is the timeline with the pictures. Clearly the slums of London and elsewhere were not photographed in early 1840’s. So your using pictures from a later period to go along with your narrative.
What a marvelous documentary.
I enjoy & prefer this style of historical TH-cam content.
Not really sure how they can describe Victoria’s children as “beloved”, she was awful to them! She was manipulative and cruel towards them and constantly criticised them... hardly a doting, loving mother!
An out of context judgment. It was customary for parents to severely shame wrong doings. It was customary to make children to apologize after a fight as it was seen as the right thing to do for a youngster to swallow their pride and apologize to the elder. It was also customary to strongly force, with violence and shame if necessary, accepted habits of moral well being. Victoria loved her children as any mother did at the time. It was an age of strict parenthood. It's these present age people who judge past age mothers who wrongly think that past age mothers did not love their children.
Slipping in the word customary doesn't hide the fact that in Victorian times Child cruelty was prevalent in society. By the way, you should not speak on behalf of another person. You look and sound STUPID.
@@TheTruth-ht7qm The question is whether Victoria loved her children, not about the prevalence or definition of cruelty. Commenting without following the main thread makes you look even more stupid.
@@davesanders5426 nope...she was a monster even by the standards of the day. A vile woman. She was jealous of them and resented them.
I live in the state of Victoria Australia and it was named after Queen Victoria
Very interesting I enjoyed this
What a soothing relaxing voice on narrator. Very good documentary
Nothing has changed. The poor still look onward at the rich in the streets all over the world.
The Good are striving to banish the four horsemen, poverty, famine, war and pestilence. and yet even today there is much to do. How sad it was in that era.
They need to banish the cause, the Illuminati.
I would have liked to have seen Oscar Wilde in Victorian London. The Victorian era was very creative.
Interesting thanks for the video
My Father was born in 1894, he was in the 1918 World war ,and then there was another War ,the second
World war 1939 -1945 . I think how unfortunate he was like others to be born at this time in history .
My Mother was born in 1903 .They both were from the poorer class then , like others, what society
Called working class ,,I was born in 1936 , and knew poverty what must it have been like for them .
We have come along way since then ,There is no class distinction now thank the good Lord .

A wonderfully well done documentary! The male narrator's voice was beautifully clear; the female's voice was difficult to hear, inasmuch as she did not face the screen. Much of this was very well known to me, because I have read ALL of Dickens' novels twice, and many a third time. Excellent selection from the neglected Nicholas Nickleby; everyone knows of Oliver Twist; but Our Mutual Friend, Hard Times (especially), and Bleak House also make their indelible impressions of Victorian life. Thanks for this post!

Yah, thanks to PBS they found some, not likely Brits, that could actually speak English!
The sound quality needs to be improved, as it is difficult to understand the young woman when she talks about life in Victorian times.
Another classic case of the truly needy and the truly greedy. Not much has changed.
A very informative documentary well represented
Poor little ones aren't wearing shoes🥺
Then, just as now, the wealthy would prefer there were far fewer, needy; not because, they had gained wealth and stability, beyond mere survival, but rather, that they did not exist at all. We, the unlanded and un-inherited, are grim reminders to the bequeathed few, of their true human status and reality.

A "poor" person today would be considered well-off in the Victorian era so yeah, a lot has changed from those times. Please!
@@Fritha71 Thats a false analogy as we are not living in Victorian times. The current level of gross disparity between the "elites" and the "ordinary" people has become so egregious and probably not seen since the Roman Empire. And they gave their plebs bread and circuses as well.
The average working person lives much better now but things may return to being this bad soon.

A most excellent documentary.
This is superb!
This is a great piece.
Fascinating in so many ways.
Questions I now have about our historical storytelling, because that's what I now feel it is.
Lots of problem
1. All of the amazing so called Victorian buildings are in all pictures circa 1859-1900 and are already old.
I had to move 6tons of gravel recently and the brand new Transit van I used could do 1rin at a time and boy could I feel it driving...so how could all of Victorian buildings all across the world dated 1840-1900 be built?
Why would they build ceilings and doors so big?
Why would amazing buildings be asylums or work house's?
How did the move all the materials
Why are the buildings basically all the same worldwide ?
There are so many questions that the story told here and is the official narrative just don't answer and it all makes little scence
Something is wrong
Great film though thank you
That’s because this topic is too big to cover in detail. Also the answer is they used horses and donkeys probably. They transported heavy goods longer distances by canal barge.
