Riding Through A Victorian Street

The Victorian Street reflects the period of building that covers the actual reign, 1837 to 1901, of Queen Victoria of England after whom it is named. Victorianism is the name given to the attitudes, art, and culture of the latter two-thirds of the 19th century with reference to English-speaking peoples and the British Empire. Queen Victoria succeeded to the throne in 1837 and died in 1901, so the period 1840–1900 is often regarded as the Victorian era. Victorianism covers the rise of industrialization, a newly urbanized middle class, the interconnection of the globe with telegraph and railway, the expansion of trade, and the establishment of the gold standard. The Victorian movement is related to changes made to society directed at dealing with the effects of trade, industrialism, and urbanization, while maintaining a strongly stratified social and political order.
