Blists Hill Victorian Town

11 December 2009 by bigdaysout Leave a Comment

Meet the Victorians in this recreated Victorian town. Costumed staff give a warm welcome and a fascinating insight into how life was lived in Victorian Times. Exchange your money in the Bank; admire the goods in the Grocers, Bakery and Sweetshop.

Winner of Sandford Award 2007.

Part of the Ironbridge Gorge Museums:

Birthplace of Industry

There are ten award-winning Museums spread along the valley beside the wild River Severn – still spanned by the world’s first Iron Bridge.

See the products that set industry on its path and the machines that made them. Watch and talk to the Museums’ craftsmen and costumed demonstrators as they work iron, fashion china and glass, and bring alive the people who lived and worked here.

This really is a fabulous place to visit, worth it just to see that amazing bridge. On top of that it is extremely beautiful and genuinely a place which has shaped the world. Tim
