To Be Young & Middle-Class: Andrew Tait's Diary

Update: 2023-04-04

Description

In today's episode, Danny & Ava take a look at the diary of fifteen-year old Andrew Tait, the son of a shop-owner who lived in Ilford, Essex. Andrew had a very typical middle-class Victorian upbringing, and while his diary reflects on some events of note, it mostly bears witness to the ordinary, everyday happenings that a young man of his age and class would have experienced.
