I wonder what the local coalminers' cottages would have looked like during this period. Would they have had such an elaborate table setting? Would they have had any extra funds at all? We keep on glorifying singular individuals as icons of the time... but remember all those (suspecting they were the majority)who created all this wealth. Who in the face of hardships tried to live a dignified life with their families.
