History

In Rich Lives, Poor Lives , Rob and Ruth follow the stories of real people who lived through extraordinary moments in British history - from Emperor Hadrian's visit to Britain, to the arrival of the Spanish Armada and Railway mania in the 1840s. They uncover gripping stories of survival, resilience, and question how wealth shaped your experience. Was it luck, grit, or the size of your bank balance that got you through?
