Victorian England saw an era of inventions in transport including railway, land, and sea. Earlier, people worked hard seven days a week, but now industries declared public holidays; with the Saturday observed as half working day, people could venture to travel to the towns of historical importance, museums,  beaches, and riversides. People had time and money which they could spend in pursuit of fun and leisure. Mass travel became the legacy of this age. Travelling became popular among middle class and lower middle class and was no more a privilege which only the rich could avail.
 
Music and bands became popular and people. People enjoyed listening to bands and music and dance became more popular among people. A few companies like Clark started giving free lessons of music to their employees. 

Three Men in a Boat reflects the society during the Victorian time very clearly since it is an interesting account of the travel of three friends who think that traveling would do them good.

For some individuals from the English working and white collar classes, the Victorian time offered open doors for the sake of entertainment and relaxation that had never been accessible. Surprisingly, open occasions were institutionalized, and bosses started to offer get-away time. In spite of the fact that workers still worked extend periods of time (frequently in hopeless conditions), they were currently ready to appreciate the infrequent occasion with their families.

The reception of the railroad promoted recreational travel, since going to another city was presently reasonable and should be possible in a couple of hours. Steamships opened up an even more extensive assortment of goals to vacationers. Among the most well known were ocean side towns, which offered open doors for showering and sculling. The ocean air was thought to be beneficial for one's wellbeing, so it pulled in individuals from England's swarmed contaminated urban areas. Different goals incorporated the field and stream towns like the ones Jerome visits in Three Men in a Boat.
