SUMMARY:Railways and Social Change in Victorian Britain - Part 1: Attitudes
  & Economics (Robin Leleux)
DESCRIPTION:For the first lecture in our Spring Series\, Robin Leleux retur
 ns to give the first part of his 2-part lecture on "Railways and Social Ch
 ange in Victorian Britain". \n\nWhen Queen Victoria came to the throne in 
 1837 the Railway Age was getting into its stride\, with significant trunk 
 lines either already open\, nearly so\, or authorised by Parliament\, plus
  several local ones. When she died in 1901 railways were indisputably a ma
 jor part of the fabric of Britain. In the intervening half century and mor
 e they had directly or indirectly played a major part in changing the natu
 re of society\, whether in policing\, education\, religion\, employment\, 
 diet\, dissemination of news and views or holidays and relaxation\, not ov
 erlooking the standardisation of time. In a two-part well-illustrated talk
 \, each of about 45 minutes to give time for questions and discussion\, Ro
 bin Leleux will look at the influence railways had on these aspects of soc
 iety.\n\nPart 1 takes the theme "attitudes and economics". Part 2\, schedu
 led for 26th May\, has "activities" for its theme.\n\nFor further informat
 ion\, please contact Roger Brice: secretary@rchs.org.uk\n\nDetails of the
