The Victorian Era (1837 – 1901) was a very productive time for new inventions.
Many household devices that we take for granted today were invented during this period.
Can you sort out the following inventions according to whether you think they were invented before the
Victorian Era, during the Victorian Era or after the Victorian Era?
Each person who would like to take part completes the whole quiz and answers all the questions in one go.
Then, we will update the correct dates and answers as we go along to hopefully make it easier towards the end!
Before, During, Or After??
Before:
1608
1827
1834
1802
1829
1835
1816

1893
1883
1845

(Once you have answered all the questions please post them here alongside the dates provided above.)
Good luck!

Good quiz Pete, it certainly got my grey cells working, a few obvious ones, but also a few tricky ones.
I've put an X by the answers that are incorrect - I really wanted to put a tick by all your correct answers, but I can't find that symbol on my keyboard!!!

Just swapped the ones with x's . Really I have no idea except that I think the revolver was earlier than Tiger76 had put and the telephone later
