Travel and transport

2. Due to the improvement in travelling methods people were able to go other places and comute to work, They could get in the city jobs rather than farming or local trade.
3. In the village in the 1500 the roads are dirt tracks, they are commuting from place to place on a wooden cart pulled by a horse
4. In the 1900 all the roads had turned into proper roads made of coble, there are also coaches and trains
5. Their is a train and railway going over the river in the 1900 pictures, this was after the industrial revolution. In the 1500 hundreds there were boats on the river.

Population
1. As we get to the time period after the industrial revolution the population grows
2. People are able to come into the villages due to new transport methods.
3. People have a different fashion sense as it is a different ear. after the industrial revolution they were able to make a wider variety of clothing, also they could mass produce the clothes because of new machinery, they were not having to do it by hand which takes a lot longer.
Buildings
1. The castle that was protecting the village in the 1500 has been nocked down as it is no longer necessary. the stone was probably used to build houses.
