  Modern Architecture In England   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Modern architecture covers the period included in the reigns of William IV (A.D. 1830-37), Victoria (A.D. 1837-1901), Edward VII (A.D. 1901-10), and of our present King, George V. The wonderful nineteenth century surpassed all its predecessors in the variety of its discoveries and in the extent of their application to the needs of daily life.
The architecture of this period, as might be expected, provides as fascinating a study as do any other developments of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, but is, moreover, so near to us in time as to make it difficult to form a detached judgment of its character.
In previous periods of architecture we have shown the varying and progressive results which arose under the operation of the geographical, geological, climatic, religious, social, and historical influences, but from the beginning of the nineteenth century the operation of these influences becomes modified.
