Victorian London

A Day in the Life of a Victorian Child

Victorian schools were a little different to our schools today. It was common practice to have to write lines or stand in the corner with a dunce hat on! This workshop gives children a taste of what life would have been like in Victorian England, what they did for fun and how the lives of rich and poor children differed.
