We were extremely happy to have a virtual session with Maureen Liddell today from the West Lothian Living Memory Association. Maureen delivered an educational and interactive session all about a day in the life of a Victorian. Maureen showed us some local Victorian artefacts, explained their function and linked them to our present day lives. We learned about a whole host of aspects, including: Victorian tooth powder, manufacturing, clothing, school paraphernalia, washing, hygiene, Victorian homes, etiquette and more!
We will now be able to extend our learning of this and continue to explore the context further.
