This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

As the Slide Show gives an overview of the trials and tribulations of the Coggans and Harraps, the key scenes allow the user a closer look at the lives of the main characters. Taken from the Yorkshire Television series How We Used to Live: Early and Late Victorians, these videos highlight important facets of life in Britain in 1845, from the dangers of digging a railway tunnel to rats being found in the drinking water.

The key scenes can be accessed either through the Biography or the Investigating History sections of the disc, and raise a number of important issues concerning Victorian Britain.
