Living standards for the poor in Edwardian BritainFor the working classes living conditions were generally poor, except for highly skilled workers such as printers (compositors), locomotive drivers, etc. In rural areas conditions were often much worse. In both town and country there were still a large number of living-in servants ...

Nevertheless, the period saw an expansion in social legislation, including the introduction of old age pensions and various kinds of government insurance schemes.

What was the class system like in England in 1912?

I know this is a set homework for you but me giving you the answer wont help in the future. You need to try find information on the Internet, link it with other facts that you found out about England. The information wont be always be dot on from the 1912, so you need to find information and narrow it down. I know you might not think about the titanic sinking when you think about class system but you can get information from that. Did you see how the rich people had grand rooms, expensive food and so. But the lower class people had bunk beds and were locked on there floor when the boat went down. This shows that people did not care about other humans if they were not wealthy or some thing along that line. So just be sure to do that for that A in your GCSE.
