Blists Hill Victorian Town

Blists Hill Victorian Town is one of the ten Ironbridge Gorge Museums.

  Blists Hill Victorian Town

 

It covers 52 acres and is made up of

multiple terrains including shale roadways, block paving, cobbles,

a canal towpath and woodland terrain. 

 

 Life is re-enacted by townsfolk who wear the attire of the day and who go about their daily live's in the shops and workplaces of this authentic Victorian community. Many have been specially trained with specific skills and crafts and are ready to demonstrate to visitors, exactly how certain tasks would have been done in a small industrial town towards the end of Queen Victoria's reign, in the 19th century.

 I has seen the creation of a brand new street of Victorian shops including a Fried Fish Dealer, Post Office, Milliner and Dress Maker and Photography Studio along with a state-of-the-art Visitor Centre and Mine Railway experience.  Other popular attractions include steam-powered machinery, a Victorian chemist (the location for BBC2’s Victorian Pharmacy series), the squatters cottage, a schoolhouse and a bank, where you can swap your money for Victorian tokens to spend in the towns shops and pubs. You'll also join in a variety of special events including:- weddings, steam days and vintage cycle rallies that take place throughout the year.
