Hello!
Is anybody able to confirm what wood these early Victorian floorboards are? I'm guessing pine but a friend suggested they could be elm...

Looks 100% like pine to me. (Without getting tied up in definitions of deal etc)
Ordinary houses didn't get Elm, afaik.
It's stained of course, and the grain isn't all that different, but the grain is naturally delineated more in Elm, usually.
Biggest difference perhaps is that it's harder, usually knottier.
These are all Elm

Reclaimed Elm boards are about £100 /sq m!
