Lark Hill Live!

Salford Museum & Art Gallery

We aim to bring the street to life for the children by introducing them to the colourful characters of Lark Hill Place, recreating the ambience of Victorian times.

Your class will be greeted at the entrance by our costumed guides, who will talk about Victorian life. They will help your pupils discover what it was really like to be a Victorian by showing them Lark Hill Place, our recreated Victorian street. The pupils will also take part in a hands-on Victorian washday demonstration.

Sessions have been designed to be structured, yet informal and relaxed, so that the children have lots of opportunities to ask questions and interact with the guides.

Learning objectives

By the end of the session learners will:

  • Have met and interacted with characters from Victorian times.
  • Be able to identify differences between ways of life at different times (ref. History NC KS1)
  • Be able to ask and answer questions about the past (ref. History NC KS1)
