FFF55. Victorian recreation

Living history: the past brought back to life. Were the good old days really so great? Or do we look at them through rose coloured spectacles? Whatever the real story, the picture painted by modern, interactive museums is attractive. And I plan to enjoy my old fashioned fish and chips when I visit one today!


**********

We're off to Ironbridge for a visit to the World Heritage site, birthplace of industry and Blists Hill Museum, where you can buy some of the best fish and chips in Britain!

Go visit the G-Man to find some more fff55s.

The Black Country Museum is very similar and not very far away, but the fsh and chips was not brilliant.
Have a good day.

Chips. I love chips. Sorry. Getting carried away again. We do tend to look back on history in this way, don't we! Great piece of writing.
