BLISTS HILL, VICTORIAN TOWN, MIDLANDS

Back to 1900. Let's escape to Blists Hill and Irongate. Once you've bought your tickets you get shown a film of various Victorian workers and the conditions they worked in. Then you go upstairs, through a door and back in time! The town has been rebuilt with shops, bank, Dr's house with surgery attached, workers cottages, pub, school, businesses such as foundry and candle makers, bakery, chip shop and more. Many of these have staff in Victorian clothing who are working and producing goods to sell. On this picture you can see the Doctor's House.
