Victorian Period

The Victorian period is the time during the reign of Queen Victoria. She was Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 1837 to 1901. During this time there were vast changes and new discoveries in England. When she was crowned, she was only 18 and England was mainly rural with many farms and small towns. By the time she died at the age of 82, England was highly industrialised and most places were connected by railways.
