What people wore
Expensive Footwear and Repurposed Materials
Children's leather boots were so expensive that many children went barefoot to school in all weathers, and old flour bags were sometimes repurposed to make undergarments.
Getting around

Music

The piano was the heart of home entertainment, where families gathered to sing popular songs or dance to music played on it. Sheet music was widely available and affordable, with 'sixpenny pops' being a popular purchase from music warehouses.
Daily life

School children were inspected for cleanliness before entering the classroom and often had to provide their own water in a drinking pannikin because school tank water was sometimes undrinkable. Discipline was strict, with teachers using canes for persistent inattention or moral offences.
