Blist Hill Victorian Village (Y5AG)
We visited Blist Hill Victorian Village. We first went into a Victorian grocers and saw some of the items they sold.
A lot of us bought a bamboo stick which when we sucked, it tasted like liquorice! We then went into a Victorian Post Office and we found out that to send a telegram was 18 seconds quicker than a text message! We also learnt that the average household only earns around £40 a year, and to send a letter was cost by the word- this shocked everyone and even the teachers! We all loved the Victorian bakery and sweet shop and many of us tasted the white cob and lollypops. We had a great day exploring and learning a lot about how Victorians lived!
