2019
Edward VII's coronation included a fancy dress bicycle parade celebrating the new king and pride in his empire. Edwardian Britain was the richest and most powerful country in the world. But what did this mean for the men, women and children hard at work in the mills and the mines?
The Edwardian era saw the creation of mass leisure, the suffrage movement, and the beginnings of world war. Life in Edwardian Britain wasn't all fun and games. The Siege of Sydney Street, in East London in 1911, is the perhaps the first terrorist attack ever caught on film. Remarkably, a young Winston Churchill then Home Secretary can be seen controversially directing operations just yards away from the gunfire.
