  Nothing makes me more sad than children living in misery and starvation, and parents unable to offer them a better life. It&apos;s heart breaking 🥺

  Doing my family history, I’ve recently found that some of my predecessors lived in this street in Victorian times. My relatives appear to have lived in the poorest parts of East London, and just about anywhere else that I’ve found them. What a struggle it must have been.

  Abject poverty in Victorian times.Very rarely shown on TV dramas.These mostly feature the middle and upper classes.Charles Dickens highlighted the real poverty in the UK at the time.

  I have to say that you have one of the best history programs in early Britain. Being from the States and a historian I enjoy these programs. In 2013 I retired from work and planned to travel to Britain and other countries in Europe, but it was meant not to be I have MS and had a major relapse which has put me down since.. Because of YouTube, I have been able to continue studying my topics of interest. Keep up this good work

  Well Queen Victoria let her people live that way while her family didn&apos;t want for anything.

  they still dressed as respectful as possible and stayed as warm as they could during colder weather. These were my great granparents in the great scheme of things in the UK and my grandparents told me about days before the second world war and what it was like for their relatives in UK during the first world war and before it too.

  Most cities were like this. My mother grew up in abject poverty. 8 people in one room. It should have been 10, but two siblings died. It left her with life long health problems.

  I found out that my dad&apos;s grandfather was a drunken homeless man. I saw on ancestry that he was charged with vagrancy and had to go to jail for these things. His wife, my great, great grandmother, kicked him out for drinking terribly..

  Walk around the back streets of the town I live in, modern day &amp; in colour. Stray dogs &amp; cats, crumbling damp houses, overflowing filthy bins, neglected filthy children playing with punctured footballs, sticks &amp; iron bars. Rubbish piled high, druggies/alcoholics laying around. Rents ridiculously high, lack of housing. NHS collapsing. Schools underfunded &amp; understaffed. Shops boarded up. Violence/assaults on the increase. And this is about to get a whole lot worse on a much larger scale.

  Im sure a lot of people today would not be able to cope living in these conditions, and unfortunately these conditions still exist today. How would kids today cope without their technology or excess of possessions. I was recently watching american freshmen going to university and one girl had about 20 pairs of trainers/shoes, thats more than i use in 5 years. I find it sad that we as humans take too much stock in possessions, what we have, can get and how much is wasted.
