    Hello Twitter. I own this many books about the Victorians; with some Edwardians and a dash of Regency for flavour! Join me on this journey into the void, as every day I post one random fact from a book chosen at whim!

    8: "The census of 1851 demonstrated what some had long feared; that many Victorians were neither Anglican nor any other religion. The figures must be treated with caution, but it seems that half the people one might expect to go to church in 1851 did not do so"

  3. 7: "The insistence that men cast their votes in public was a relic of the age before 1832. It meant that landlords, employers, and others...could see who they had voted for. Fear of reprisals often meant that many could not vote according to their conscience..."

    6: "Economic depression and severe weather caused great distress in the winter of 1885-6, especially amongst dock and building workers. A protest by London's unemployed on 8th Feb 1886 turned into a riot when the crowd of 20,000 set off to march on Hyde Park"

    5: "Attempts to improve working class housing, and to abate the danger of 'rookery' areas, took 4 main forms in the period from the 1840s to the 1870s. Street clearance, model dwellings, sanitary regulation, and the private schemes initiated by Octavia Hill"

    4: "Led by the 'The Poor Mans Guardian', the illicit unstamped press flourished...feeding working class radicalism with a new sense of purpose. More than this, it fostered organisation. Networks of radical booksellers, publishers and news vendors were built up"

    3: "So we come to respectability. Here was the sharpest of all lines of social division...To be respectable in mid-Victorian Britain held the same stature as being a good party man in a Communist state...It signified at once one's innate virtue and social worth"

    2: "After 7 years of parliamentary wrangles, the 1890 Lunacy Act at last placed the registration and trial of all alleged lunatics under the watch of local government. England seems to have finally run out of patience with the private proprietor Mad-Doctors"

    1: "The sheer diversity of what can only loosely be called British 'society' in the 19th Century is remarkable...the gentleman had virtually no traffic or commonality with the manufacturer; nor the worker with the stockholder; or the farmer with the factory hand"
