Lark Rise to Candleford (et seq) by Flora Thompson
Rural, ag lab life - 1800s to early 1900s.
The Country Child by Alison Uttley
Fictionalised, but accurate account of a childhood in Oxfordshire. (Early 1900s)
Mary Barton by Elizabeth Gaskell.
It's an excellent picture of working class life in the area during the 1840's and was written at the time so has an authentic feel. As it's a classic, there are many editions. Mine is a cheapie from Penguin Popular Classics
