Summary
A Play written for radio. Running time for radio about 45 minutes. A mother and daughter make a railway journey to visit The Great Exhibition of London in 1851. A fictional play with narrative from the original diary of Elizabeth Briggs and her mother Christina who made the 12 hour journey by train from Burton-in-Kendal to London in 1851 to visit The Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all Nations. The Social History of early Victorian Britain related through imagined conversations and the actual written words of the diary. Delightfully read by the author with sound effects that set the scenes.
