Following on from the excellent Blists Hill presentation at the Wolverhampton & Black Country Centre AGM, come along and see for yourself a recreated 1890's Victorian town.
We will be given a guided tour of the town by Mr David De Haan and his team where costumed staff give a fascinating insight into how life was lived in Victorian times, admire the goods in the Grocers, Bakery and Sweetshop.
Find out about curious remedies in the Chemist and see the printer and candle maker in action.
Many of the buildings have either been relocated to the site or created using accurate records from the period.
Family and friends are welcome.
