I
had
a
great
time
taking
a
fascinating
walk
through
a
part
of
British
history.
There
are
just
so
many
wonderful
artifacts,
and
great
effort
has
been
put
into
creating
a
visual
experience
that
plants
you
right
in
the
period
that
the
room
corresponds
to
(beginning
in
the
early
19th
century
through
to
WWII).
I
really
enjoyed
the
copious
amounts
of
information
to
read
and
take
in.
There
are
also
scanable
QR
codes
that
open
up
Youtube
videos,
with
actors
reading
the
information
in
character;
if
that's
more
your
thing.
There
is
an
exhibit,
once
one
has
taken
in
all
that
the
school
has
to
offer,
of
famous
persons
connected
with
the
local
area.
It
was
a
treasure
trove
of
fascinating
items
to
look
at.
It
features
Dickens,
Orwell,
George
Bernard
Shaw,
and
two
or
three
others
that
were
equally
interesting,
if
not
as
well
known;
Edward
Bulwer-Lytton,
in
particular!
The
staff
were
really
lovely.
Each
and
every
one
of
them.
I
had
a
fascinating
conversation
with
a
lady
that
voluntered,
along
with
her
Husband,
he
was
the
curator
for
the
museum
and
she,
a
retired
teacher,
now
dressed
up
and
gave
lessons
in
the
Victorian
Gallery
classrom.
What
a
treat
that
must
be
to
see!
I
was
the
first
visitor
after
re-opening
post-Covid
lockdown,
so
I
didn't
quite
get
the
full
experience,
which
is
totally
understandable,
but
I
still
thoroughly
recommend
a
visit.
Get
lost
in
there
for
3
hours
and
you
won't
regret
learning
all
about
Joseph
Lancaster
and
his
Monitorial
School
system.
It's
fantastic!
Thank
you
to
every
one
that
contributes
time
and
effort
toward
making
this
little
bit
of
British
history
available
to
enjoy.
