A lot of inventions happened in the Victorian times
There was a lot of crime
But we will focus on the letter X
A word beginning with X to do with the Victorians
There’s no such word, you may well ask?
Let’s get on with our task
X-rays were invented in the Victorian era
An x-ray is a beam of light that looks at your bones
We use them in hospitals, but keep them away from phones!
But that wouldn’t be a problem in those days
Because- guess what- they weren’t invented yet- how strange!
I don’t think I’d have been able to cope in those times
Because children had to work in mines
The first x-ray was invented by German physics inventor, Wilhelm Roentgen
Unfortunately, he died from cancer of the intestines, which is really sad
Lots of people believe this was caused by him x-raying himself too much which caused his intestines to get bad
X-rays use fluoroscopy
He called it the x-ray because in mathematics, x means something of unknown quantity
Fluoroscopy uses a tube
Even now x-rays are used
But later on William Cooidge improved x-rays and made them dramatically better
The tube used in x-rays were improved so much more than before!

Victoria had a long day ahead. She had to have a party to celebrate being Queen of England.
She didn’t have a perfect dress and there was a dress contest.
The princess couldn’t ask her mum to make one, as her mum was dead, and her dad (Edward VII) didn’t know how to make them.
So she asked a servant to do it- but the servant said, “No!” He was punished. Then she asked if any of the other servants would like to do it.
“I will, I will” said one servant.
“Good,” said Victoria.
The servant made a lovely gold and blue dress. Victoria had to try the dress on about ten times before it was perfect, but the day was saved. She won the dress challenge and rewarded the helpful servant with a present.

The upper classes have it all! The fancy oil paintings, the single person armchair, the fireplace. Why can’t we get some? It’s just not fair.
Our lower class houses only have four walls and, on top of that, we share our houses with another four to five people. We also have to have basic food rations: no sweet, tasty sugar- just plain, boring bread.
Whereas the upper classes have billions of walls. Most houses have twenty walls and they only share it with servants. They don’t work. No! No! They are too good for jobs. They spend their time going to dinner parties. And, at those dinner parties, they have sweet, satisfying sugar.
It’s just not fair…

This piece of writing is all about technology’s evolution through the Victorian era.
Transport Evolution
Transport’s evolution was a great one, starting with the horse and carriage. A very different but effective mode of transportation until the Penny Farthing was made. It was revolutionary for the Victorians, allowing one person to get somewhere fast… well, until the first petrol car was built- then transportation was at its finest in the Victorian times. They also had steam trains and power paddle boats for longer journeys.
Life’s Evolution
Life’s evolution was a revolutionary one: for example, it started with the photographic paper. The photographic paper allowed people to take photos and put them in frames like today. Next is the post box. This allowed people to post their letters and not have to worry about walking or driving to a post office.
Communication’s Evolution
The last evolution was none other than communication. Communication started with the electric telegraph. It was used to speak to other people. Next up was Morse code; that was the next step in communication. Then the telephone and wireless radio were invented, which leads us up to today’s inventions.

In 1870, the Victorian times, not a lot of people could afford to go to school- but they had no choice to stay at home: they had to go to school. The girls and boys would be split up. The girls would be on one side and the boys would be on the side next to the girls. They washed their hands with carbolic soap. They would use blackboards to write on.

Queen Victoria was the queen
Using her noggin she changed pretty much all of England
Electricity was made during her reign
Edward VII became King when Victoria died
Nineteen zero one was the year she passed away
Victoria died of a cerebral hemorrhage
In 1837 Victoria became Queen of England
Children were made to work down in the mines and up chimneys
The Queen married Prince Albert in 1840
On her throne was where she sat
Revolution was the name of what Victoria did for Britain
Industrial Revolution, in fact
Also, in my opinion, Queen Victoria helped our country but she wasn’t a nice lady…

The prisons now are a lot different to the prisons in the Victorian era. It is thanks to Elizabeth Fry that the prisons have changed in a big way. She thought that criminals should still be treated like human beings.
The prisons today are different by a lot. To get in prison today, you need to commit a serious crime.The cells are different too, so you only get one to four people in a cell.
The prisons back then were a lot worse. To get put in prison, a small crime like not paying your bills would result in you and your family being put in jail. In the prison, there was only one cell and everyone was put in this one cell. You would have to cook your own food, sleep, wash and go to the toilet in the same cell with everyone else.
I think that the prisons today are a lot better because you don’t need to cook your own food and you don’t have to share a cell lots of other people. Also, your entire family doesn’t have to go to prison too.
Now you can see the difference between the prisons today and the Victorian prisons.

Florence Nightingale
Florence Nightingale was born in Florence, Italy in 1820. She was a nurse that changed everything.
Florence Nightingale’s early life
Florence Nightingale, at the age of 17 years old, was spoken to by God. He said, “You must use your life to do something good.” On a trip to Egypt and Greece, she saved an abandoned owl and named it Athena.
The beginning of the nurse
Her father declared that she should become a nurse, and she was picked to go to the Crimean War. She had to go there to the Crimean War so she could treat treat the wounds of injured soldiers. She told the rest of the nurses that they had to treat the wounds carefully and give the soldiers good food to help them recover.
End of her life
By the end of her life, Florence Nightingale had started a health care school. Edward VII awarded her the Order of Merit (although she was asleep for the ceremony). In 1910, she died peacefully in her sleep.

Hi, my name is Ryan and these are my Top 5 Victorian Machines.
5: At 5, it’s the telephone, which was invented in 1876.
4: At 4, it’s the electric telegraph, invented in 1837
3: Making its spot at 3, it’s the wireless radio, invented in 1895.
2: Almost at the top spot (it took some time deciding whether this was first or second) in 2nd place, it’s the lightbulb, invented in 1876 by Thomas Edison.
1: And at no. 1 it’s the machine that changed everyone’s lives: the car, invented in 1885 by Karl Benz.
Fun Fact: Karl Benz in the man who made the company Mercedes Benz.
Those were my Top 5 Victorian Machines.

The London Underground in Victorian Times
Steam locomotives were used on the Underground for the first few years until electric trains were introduced. Steam locomotives were unpopular as they produced a great deal of smoke and noxious fumes which filled the tunnels making the experience unpleasant for passengers.
Victorian roads had become very congested with horse and early motor traffic so it was decided that an underground railway would help reduce pressure on the road system.
There are some notable facts about the Underground – or ‘Tube’ as it would later be called;
The first tube train ran on 9th January 1863.
The Inner Circle took 21 years to complete from 1863 to 1884.
Underground stations and tunnels were used for storage, shelter and as factories during the First and Second World Wars.
Resources were transported around the Underground system to points across London.
The first electric train ran in 1890.
Passengers were at first scared to travel on the Underground.
I am a big fan of the tube line and want to see the transport museum in London, which i think is going to be a good day out.

In Victorian times, there were a lot of assassins (otherwise known as killers) who stalked in London mostly at night. It was struggle being an assassin because you didn’t have much of anything so they had to steal things and kill people.
Assassins have to start somewhere, so they prepared by making tools or making tools better. They first had to buy/mine some stone and some wood and get it back to their house. Then, they had to make it so the wood supported the stone wheel so it can still spin. Next they would start spinning the wheel to sharpens their knives. After they are done with that, they would crush up some blackberries and turn them into a dye and dye his clothes. Finally, they would be finished.
Now they would have to get to their target- the palace! They would have to climb over the rooftops or else risk being caught by the bobbies (and it would be easier than trying to navigate through the crowds of people).
When they reached the palace, they would have to find a way in. So, they might take the window panes and jump down, sliding straight behind the guards and successfully getting past.
So far so good. Now our assassin puts his hand on to the door handle… but then, right at that moment, he was spotted by a guard!
This was the end of the assassin… he was executed in front of everyone. Now hopefully you understand how hard it was being an assassin.

In Victorian times, there was a village and it had poor people and rich people.
A jeweller made jewellery in Victorian times. The jewellery was made out of gold, silver and other precious metals. If I was a Victorian and I had to choose out of jewellery and jelly babies I would choose jelly babies because if I was a lower class person I would have to eat mouldy food off the floor.
In those days, they had jam makers so that obviously means they made jam. The people who made jam wouldn’t have been paid a lot like us in these days. People who had jam-making jobs wouldn’t be treated like us in these days as well.
Victorians also had a shoe-maker who journeyed around and made people shoes and mended them.
These are all things that begin with the letter J.

In the Victorian era, lots of men and women changed and improved the way we live our lives today.
In 1837, the Electric Telegraph was invented by the marvellous William Cooke and Charles Wheston. In the year of 1839, photographic paper was invented by the spectacular W.H. Fox-Talbot, closely followed by the steam-powered paddle boat by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. The next year, pre-paid postage was created by Rowland Hill.
Four years later, in 1844, the code for boats Morse Code was named after its creator Samuel Morse. One extraordinary year later the rubber tyre was made by Robert Tomson and first appeared on a cart (but shortly was taken off due to the fact that it was not very good!). In 1850, red post boxes began to appear on our map. After a dull twenty one years, James Starley invented the wonderful Penny Farthing.
The telephone was born in 1876, the work of Alexander G. Bell, and was shortly followed by the light bulb (Thomas Edison was the creator). Karl Benz created the notorious petrol motor car (that is where Mercedes Benz comes from). Ten years later, Marconi invented the wireless radio.
That was a list of some of the most important and life-changing inventions from the Victorian era. Just think what life would be like now without them!

Victorian houses may look old now but they were beautiful when new. They are very big- well, mostly, because the lower class ones were about a one bedroom home, with only a fire, table and chairs, and some cupboards (so they didn’t have the best houses).
But the upper classes did! They had four bedrooms, a lovely table, four lovely chairs, a fireplace, a lot of cupboards and lights.
Lower class houses didn’t have much space so they had little room to put things so they had to use it wisely. They had about four people in a bedroom- often sharing a bed together to keep warm.
In upper class Victorian houses, they had a lot of paintings. They also had poles along the roof to hang clothes from.
Lower class houses had no wallpaper because wallpaper cost a lot of money and neither could they afford carpet because that costs a lot.
The upper classes had wallpaper and their’s was lovely. And they had carpets. Most of their carpet was old but in those days any carpet was popular.
The lower classes had their houses made out of stone so they were not very popular, But upper class houses had brick, which looked very nice.
Fact: if Victorians had a lot of money, they could buy special flower wallpaper.
Fact: kitchens were often large enough to have a table to prepare and serve food on.

The lamp hung limply in her hand, a single light source piercing the intense blackness. Wolfie- a pure bred husky- trotted beside, her silver coat reflecting the cool light. He stared up at her with wise, glossy eyes, pink tongue lolling out of his mouth, dripping with drool. Finally, after a few minutes of ambling through the dark, she arrived.
At the edge of the forest, sat round an incandescent camp fire, were Ricky, JC and Kian. JC- whose name was actually Jonah Calfen- looked out into the starless night. All was silent… a twig snapped. All three friends froze, preparing to leg it, but relaxed again when Talula stepped into the firelight. JC glared at his little sister when Wolfie came into view.
“I told you he wasn’t to come!” he burst out angrily.
“I’m sorry, Jonah- I couldn’t resist,” replied Talula innocently. As if on cue, Wolfir rolled over onto his back showing his soft underbelly and staring at JC with sad blue eyes. Jonah’s heart ruled his head at that moment and he said to Talula:
“It’s ok- but, that means you’re going last.”
“Ok,” came the reply.
She seated herself on a log and awaited Ricky’s story. Each Friday, the four of them would gather around the fire and tell ghost stories…
“Ok,” Ricky began, glancing around the intently watching faces. “So, this story is about a girl called Freya and a ghost.” Seeing that they were already hooked, he continued. “There was once a girl called Freya, and she went to church one night and was scared by a ghost. The end.” He sat back, proud of his ‘amazing’ story.
Talula fought to contain her laughter but, when Kian and JC gave in to their tears of laughter, she couldn’t help but giggle at the offended boy. She cut in.
“My turn.”
“What!” exclaimed JC. “You’re going last!”
Ignoring her annoying brother, she pushed on.
“My story is about four children sitting around a camp fire telling ghost stories on a night just like this one…” she began. “The children spoke in soft whispers in the night under the pale eye of the moon…spoke of ghostly things, decrepit, haunted places and-” She dropped her voice to a low hiss. “-unicorn blood. A howl in the distance froze them in fear…” Talula paused, “But the flickering fire revealed nothing. Suddenly a translucent figure floated before them in a menacing manner. It wailed! Then- blackness.”
Talula’s words echoed around in their skulls and, hearts beating like drums, they sprinted home to their mothers- leaving her alone…
