Experience a day in Victorian times in a FUN way. Laughing. Intonation is everything. Hard to do in text. I use CAPS but it’s not very nuanced. I suppose I could use emogis but then I’d be a traitor to my generational category. So great that you two take your kids to these things.
Thanks Deb! We have been going to Blists Hill even before the kids. The fact that we have kept going back says something. Just being able to go into the old shops and buildings is so interesting and the policeman and pianist, Guy Roland is brilliant. He brings the place to life, so witty and funny!
The Rural Policeman was assigned to a village and a special house was provided for Lodging. They tended to integrate better within the community and became trusted and popular.
@@gileswhiteheadartist Before the pandemic I was in the squatters cottage or the toll house. Bet when I go back I'm gonna be in the cottage between the sweet shop and fish and chip shop
The Lifestyle of the Victorian Policeman was particularly harsh and the pay was poor, about the same as a Farm Labourer, well through it was better in some City Forces.

We went here a few weeks back. It’s such a lovely place. We enjoyed watching this video. 🍻
So glad you enjoyed your visit - It’s such a wonderful place. Thank you for your kind comment.
The shops look old but they were new once..
Really?
That's me walking past the butchers with my basket at 3:52.
That’s brilliant. Thanks so much for watching. It must be great to work at Blists Hill. I love visiting. What area do you work?

keanestar07 well, that’s a bit more in the hustle and bustle. Have you been working at Blists Hill long? What’s your favourite part?
@@gileswhiteheadartist I been there since 2014 till we went into lockdown I'm going back soon.
Fame at last! I love seeing everyone dressed up as really adds to the experience for visitors. Do you supply your own costume or do they provide them?
