The oldest railway in the world is the Middleton Railway in Leeds, England.\n\nIt began operating in 1758 and is still in operation today.  When it opened it was used to transport coal from the mines to the canal in Leeds where the coal was loaded into barges and transported to other towns and cities.\n\nToday about half the length of the original line remains and is used for pleasure trips.\n\nThe first public railway was the Stockton to Darlington Railway line in England which opend in 1825 primarily for the purpose of transporting coal from the mines around Darlington and West Durham to the port of Stockton.\n\nPrior to the railways the main method of tranporting bulk goods had been by canal but something faster and more direct was needed.  The railways were very successful and quickly a linked network spread across much of the UK joining industrial areas, ports and towns.

Hope this helps you out. BTW the Brits had the most colonies!!!!\n\nThe 2nd link shows which countries owned which other countries. It's taken from 1898. It's a big image so it might take a while to load if you got a slow connection.

Today is England's Independence Day of sorts. It's snobbish of me to say it's like the American holiday, seeing as it predated our independence day by almost two hundred years, but it's the same idea. Guy Fawkes, in 1605, tried to blow up the houses of Parliament, but was caught and hanged. People celebrate the prevention of his plot by burning effigies of him and setting off fireworks. By now, it's really just an excuse to have bonfires, fireworks, and a good bit of fun.

I could easily agree with you on some places. British rule always made sure that things in these countries ran much smoother and the British protected those people from outside threats and civil enemies. And it is weird how all these 3rd world countries all seem to be packing old, rusty kalashnikovs... that last bit really made me laugh. One of the things I'll have to remember!!!! But now they are all moving into England and god help anyone who speaks up against them, because "it would be un-PC".

Nice answer...but the question says 1800s and your answer says 1900s?

There is the Colonial 1700's and such, we refer to the 1800's as Victorian/industrial revolution - taken by the style of building which we copied.  The Gold Rush. The roaring twenties/Art deco.  The depression.  As a younger country they tend to break it apart by decade for easy reference in the 1800's and throughout the 1900's.

Good question.  The different colonies had different accents just as in Britain today there are regions and locales with distinct accents.\n\nIn the 20th century, there lived on a remote island in the Chesapeake Bay a population whose English was heavily accented in what many scholars argued was as close to the Colonial English as anything.

England, because it's got pretty countryside, nice small towns, big cities, friendly markets, Shakespeare, George Eliot, Jaguar cars, royalty. It is also steeped in history, and is my home. :)
