The Unsung Heroes of the Golden Age of Steam | Full Steam Ahead | S1E01 | Documentary Central

The steam railways revolutionized domestic life in Britain in the early 19th century. They brought slate and coal to every corner of the country, changing the way we built our homes and cooked our food. The team visited the Ffestiniog Railway and Foxfields Railway to learn more about how steam railways transformed our lives.
The team of historians examine how the golden age of steam changed Britain in unexpected ways, starting with domestic life. From slate roof tiles to the coal fire the railways shaped peoples homes.

I'm from the USA & I've learned more from your documentaries then @ my many years of schooling. Thank you!
I so hope you continue with these shows. It is so interesting to me of how things have came about & how sometimes we still use the past with everyday living. It's just so fascinating to learn from past history. Even if it is not my own country I still love learning about it. Because your country has volunteers that are doing it & you are filming it. Sometimes I hate my own country & we do not have this kind of volunteers in our country. or I don't know where it is, bc there not advertising where these types of things are going on in the USA. I know there not filming it & it's not in color & there just showing a B&W video of old footage they got when it was just coming out with that big thing of that part of the past.
Your doing it right, showing us what it was like in the past & how it's changed since.
Thank you again, keep up the great work & I'll be watching!

I have have the pleasure to travel with Ffestiniog Railway in Wales, now that narrow gauges expand to the north west, is on the "To do list".

I live in the USA, many cities started because they built around the railroads, if you had regular trains coming through you could build next to the train stop.
