Life in the Past

Life in the Victorian era (1837-1901) was very different from the life we live now. People of the past did not have the many conveniences that we enjoy today. Before electricity was invented, gas-powered lighting was used, and people labeled indoor plumbing as "newfangled". The style of clothing was also much more elaborate than ours. During this period of time, many advances were made. It was called the Industrial Age.
