Posters on here say that the air was so clean. It was clean by the sea but in the cities and industrial areas there was terrible pollution . I lived in an industrial town in the North West of England. My aunty (born 1908) said you could see 50 chimneys from where she lived in the town. All belching out thick smoke. I would love to go back in time for a visit but am under no illusions. Some things could be said to be better than now but many things are better.
when looking at british trams, they were self powered, with a center rail in the ground, trolley buses had a fishing pole, and overhead electric, so not trams, i traveled on both, only foreigners, called them trams, or tram cars, thats a trolley bus, the same goes for lift or elevator
So long times ago the windmill at Lytham is still existing..and so much has changed now..

My grandmother (lived in Salford) loved going to Blackpool, she must have used that mode of travel.

The ordinary working man didn't have paid holidays back in 1904. The best they could do was a Sunday outing if they lived close enough to Blackpool.
Clifton Arms hotel right at the beginning?
Apart from the obvious advances in medical science and social housing, have things got that much better for us over a hundred years on?
