Blists Hill Victorian Town - A Living Museum of Victorian Life - IronBridge

[@TheVictorianPiper]

I was forwarded this video by a friend, and what a cracking video it is too! I'm a volunteer at Blists Hill and the chap operating the mine winding engine in your film. New sub here and will be off delving through your content soon 👍🏻

[@MemorySeekers]

Good day, well what a surprise for you and us! Over the moon that you liked the film we made of the museum last year. It has to be one of our favourite places to visit to get our victorian fix! We see you have some interesting videos behind the scenes at the museum so will equally be checking them out! Please do share with your colleagues love them to see it as well, thanks so much, made our day! 😀

@The Victorian Piper You looked very professional indeed!

[@GuyIncognito575]

I was press-ganged into being a costumed volunteer for a day at Blists Hill in a former life. I was a young person visiting from "the colonies" (always said with a wave in a vaguely westerly direction). Lots of comments about how good my N.A accent was, which was a relief because it was the only one that I had. Thank you for bringing back fond memories!

Thank you so much for your wonderful work.

I first visited Blists Hill and some of the other museums in the 1990's when I stayed on holiday with a friend from Shrewsbury. I revisited the museum in 2017 and 2018 and was amazed at the additions and upgrading... going back was like meeting up with an old acquaintance from years ago. My favourite parts of the Museum are the Fish and Chip Emporium and the Photographers Studio, I have two souvenir photographs taken in there while wearing Victorian costumes. Once the pandemic has waned and travel is back to some sort of normality, I hope to visit this wonderful Museum again. Gordon Taylor, Scotland.

[@MemorySeekers]

Hi Gordon, Thanks for sharing your memories with us! We agree, it is an impressive museum with lots going on each day. We have visited twice, once before corona and once during. They were able to keep most of the attractions open, but the photography studio was closed during our second visit. The whole Ironbridge town area is beautiful, did you watch our other guide on the other museums dotted around town. It would be well worth spending a few days in town to do Blists Hill and the other attractions. PS: We’re hoping to get to Scotland this year to do some filming of the Highlands and Islands!

[@rebekahlow8375]

Thank you for taking us on this wonderful tour!!!! Love from Vermont

[@bryaneast2513]

Blists Hill is a remarkable museum, we visited a few years ago now, and we can recommend it. From the candle maker we purchased white candles (for private use) and pale green candles that were used at the foundry. They were coloured to deter pilfering. The candles were even wrapped in reproduction newsprint.

[@MemorySeekers]

There attention to deal is wonderful.

The pub was one of our local pubs, sat on corner of Green lane and Hospital street, Walsall. Originally very plain inside, run by an old woman. Basic stools and few chairs. I commented before he got to the pub in video, chump am i.. They should have had the newsagents and sweet shop that was next door as well. I would go in after leaving Croft st. school as kid. Several museums that area, all worth a visit. Buy the rover ticket and visit all museums at your leisure.

I was born near the Black Country, not far away from this excellent preservation, and having moved south, as a boy, I enjoyed my visit there about 10 years ago. The one shop that scared me, was the Chemists, with the Dentists chair, AND, not mentioned here, was the weird contraption used, to drill teeth with. Believe it or not, the Dentist had to pedal this cycle-like machine, which turned the drill as fast as the Dentist could pedal. Imagine---he's swaying side to side while pedaling fast, AND, trying to hold the drill steady, on the end of a flexible spinning wire, while attempting to be precise.TERRIFYING !!

They would just present me with a handful of assorted coins and I would make my own change! I guess I had an honest face.
