Places in the Victorian age.

In England there were many important cities as Brighton, Oxford,

Edinburgh, Cardiff and Canterbury, but we can say that London was the
most important. In 1750 one tenth of the english population resided in
London, and it was the undisputed cultural, economic, religious,
educational, and political center of the nation. London was, of course, also
Britain's artistic and literary capital. Many British authors were born there,
made their reputations there, or died there.

Now a museum, this house once belonged to a Miss Mary Pearson Strong,
whom Dickens, one of the most important writers in England during the
Victorian age, often visited whilst on holiday in Broadstairs. This was one
of his inspirations and according to the reminiscences of Dickens's son
Charley, Miss Strong was a kindly and charming old lady who fed him tea
and cakes.

Bain de Mer by George Du Maurier.

In England there were many seaside resorts; the

Victorians loved to be beside the seaside. In a sense, they
created it as a great escape from the factories and cities.
They set up their bathing machines on the shore, built
piers out to sea to get a bit closer to it and have more
space for their entertainments, and developed a whole
new industry: the seaside tourist industry.
A very natural mistake by John Leech.
