Victorian Britain CD-ROM: Life in 1881

Motivating support for Key Stage 2 history and literacy. An exciting interactive exploration of a victorian industrial town (Burton upon Trent) as seen through the eyes of its inhabitants. Characters, from a wide range of backgrounds, can be questioned about their lives as they take you along animated streets. The inhabitants of our town live in a faithful reconstruction of Burton upon Trent in the Midlands, as it was in 1881. Over 450 buildings, from signal boxes and waterhouses to watertowers and shops, have been accurately computer modelled to provide a stunning and evocative historical backdrop. Victorian Britain comes with a licence to access the extensive online learning resources.
