    In 19th century Britain, lamps and candles were used for light since there was no electricity. Transportation at the time involved coaches rather than cars, which people would buy to travel from place to place. By the 1860s, bicycles were ridden alongside horses. Poor families would build simple small houses while wealthy aristocratic families owned luxurious palaces. Men in cities wore top hats and suits with tails, and dresses were designed to hide women's legs. Girls from well-off families were educated at home, boys from rich families were sent to public schools, and children from poor families were forced to work. Rapid changes in everyday life were brought about by industrialization, which created a huge demand for goods and services.
