About the event
Travel back to a time before iPods, television and Xboxes, where cramped living conditions, disease and lack of sanitation were rife. Children crawled, climbed and coughed their way through their short lives. Looking at children in mines, factories, on the land, up chimneys and in the school room, we discover how different life was then from now. Using role-play, we discover how tough a child had to be to survive and thrive in Victorian England.
