Part of the day involved a workshop, where the children used artefacts to discover information about the lives and families of characters who lived during this era. Following this, they visited the Victorian Street o experience this first hand.

| The children answers questins to show what they already know about the Victorians. |
 |
| Some of the artefacts they used. |
 |
| Explaining to each other what they found out. |
 |
| Alice Finch was one of the characters we foud out about. |
 |
| Could this be Alice Finch? |
 |
| Which is the real James Wilson? |
 |
 |
| Thomas Sowden was a night soil man. We discovered what this unpleasant job was. |
 |
| John Oddy, the slaughterhouse boy, had a dreadful childhood which led to many problems for him! The second part of our visit involved exploring the museum to look for answers to the question: 'Why do we live longer now than we did 150 years ago?' |
