Walking Victorian Britain

From the great railway termini to the seaside resorts to the model villages.

The Victorians built the architecture of modern Britain — the railway stations, the seaside resorts, the museums, the model villages. Each of these places is essentially a Victorian time capsule, kept that way by the same protective instinct that built them. Most are free to visit.
