The original, pre-decimalised half-pence was withdrawn from circulation in 1969,a and not replaced until 1971, on the day of decimalisation. The modern, decimalised half-pence was last minted en masse in 1983 and withdrawn at the end of that year, by which time its annual minting had fallen from a high of over 350million in 1972 (discounting the initial run) to less than 10million coins in 1983, due to the effective worthlessness of the half-penny by the 1980s.

When did they stop using Shillings in Victorian times?

They did not stop using Shillings in Victorian times. The British have used the Shilling since about 1550 until the introduction of decimal currency in 1971. I visited the UK for the first time in late 1971, during the transition, and shopkeepers and restaurants were struggling with "new pence" vs. shillings.
