A visit to Blists Hill Victorian Town Museum, Ironbridge Gorge, including a tour of the newly opened Canal Street. Filmed by Virtual Shropshire www.virtual-shropshire.co.uk April 2009
@sjmachrihanish ... it is the turn of the victorian century, its the changeover period from the Victoria Era into the new one.. so the songs being sang are correct.
@stupidboydav i believe the teacher in victorian times really gave u a wallop real hard up ur ass lol dread being a convent school child back then in india lol
We paid a visit to Blists Hill a couple of weeks ago - really great day, fish and chips just tasted the same as I remember as a child. Also would like to thank everybody at the Museum for allowing us and all visitors to take dogs in, otherwise we would have missed out on a really great attraction - Well done Shropshire.
Hate to be a snooze, but "Turn of the century Victorian" would be a time that ended in 1901, am I right? The songs being sung in the pub are from 1912 (Tipperary) and 1915 (Goodbyee and Pack Up Your Troubles).
Went here when i was 13 wow seems a long time ago, going to take my kids there. Our history is so important gives a good insight inot what life was really like. Just hope the actors are as good off camera as on. Is there a town drunk or criminal or wench after all everywhere had them. Looking forward to visiting again. Reccomend it to anyone. Wonder if the chip shop kebabs lol or fried snickers :-P
I went in 2001...and it was absolutly splendid. I recommend it to everyone with a slight interest in history. Definatly a must for anyone visiting Shropshire.
However, I was 11 at the time, and have to say the one disappointment was the Sweetshop. It was not as good as it could have been. BUT: the bank was fun, the shops were great and interactive, the food and drink was good, and there was loads to do all day.
