  • She wasn't Queen Victoria of England. She was the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Great Britain being Scotland, England and Wales. She was also the Queen of all the commonwealth countries and Empress of India. I get so annoyed when supposedly educated people use England as a synonym for the United Kingdom.

  • You would have to be a very wealthy family to live like this in Victorian times. Most people lived in squalor. Dilapidated tenements were more the norm in the slums of Glasgow and most British cities during the Victorian period, Things never really started to improve, to what we would call acceptable standards for a civilised society, until after world war 2

  • Ladies! Ladies! ALL Victorian hairstyles would be up, never down (except night time and only then in the sitting room off the bedroom)

  • @glencairnalphamfc This is pretty accurate, apart from the Tobacco Merchants and the mansions in the west end of Glasgow, the everyday life of a British person was life in a tenement with no housing rules and crowded conditions rife with disease, its a wonder our ancestors survived it at all. Although if you had to reenact it for a history class you'd be pretty depressed, best stick to the upper classes and their swishy gowns and hair.

  • @XxMissNoNamexX what do you mean by blood letting?? :S

  • the table was a great additon "here most of the men would have done the women"

  • Wow, that so cool!

  • I think Victorian era is very creepy.

  • lovely..thankyou*

    

  • So at like 3:15 I can recognize the music from the japanese weather channel my dad watches.

  • This really helped me! I am making a miniature victorian house for school, and I didn't know what to put where. :)

  • Isn't that cute? The background music is louder than the narration. I didn't know there were fat kids in those days. Very interesting video!
