About The Session
Students become curators for the session, sharpening their historical enquiry skills to examine a selection of real Victorian mystery objects and look for clues as to what they might be. Our experienced heritage facilitators will then take them on a tour of Lark Hill Place, our Victorian street, to find out more about their objects, and what life would have been like in Victorian times.
The class will stay together for the session but will be split into smaller groups to look at the objects. The session also includes a visit to our Victorian Street, Lark Hill Place where most of the objects they have been looking at can be found in situ.

By the end of the session learners will:
- Have handled and investigated Victorian objects
