How did they live and worked, what they were ate, what they were treated, what they went to, what did the ordinary British have gone in and how did the ordinary English eras dress?

“I want to study the history of private, personal, material, which praises everyday life and allows you to recreate the lives of ordinary people, adults and children, through contact with their life. I intend to understand how our ancestors thought, to learn about their hopes, fears and speculations. I will consider all aspects of the household everyday life of the Victorians and invite you to where I myself wandered in search of traces of that era. In an attempt to comprehend the past, from the very beginning I paid much attention to the experimental aspect. I like to plunge into the study of those things that people created and used in the past, and on their own experience to find out how it worked ”(Ruth Goodman)
