London was smoggy as hell in the 1800's, nowhere would have compared because London was way more industrialised than most cities at the time and also the largest city in the world. For many the industrial revolution was often a choice between living in a smoggy city or continuing to live as a poor farmer. The reason why the west end became the more desirable area of cities is because wind usuall blew from west to east, so the poor would live in the part with the worst air quality. Ah well in that case I would have made my way over to Wrexham and had many offsprings to plough the fields and milk the goats and slaughter the chickens. Round here they would have sent you down the pit like any fine lad back then. The blighters in the cities needed their coal. |

Ok, I'd head off to Aalborg, Denmark and become a farmer. I actually have some ancestry there. But would the pollution in England be strong enough to waft eastward to Denmark though? |
