Harness Maker

I think that this is probably the last picture for the time being that was taken at the Victorian Town at the Ironbridge Gorge Museum and it shows a portrait of the harness maker in his workshop.

 

 

Afternoon Tea

The Victorian Town is a brilliant venue for photography, so put it on your list of places to visit. The Ironbridge Gorge Museum is close to Telford in Shropshire and the area was the cradle of the Industrial Revolution in England.

 

The Doctor Calls

A portrait taken at Blists Hill Museum’s Victorian Town in Shropshire, England.

 

Conversation

The late afternoon light filters into the cottage and the teapot stands forgotten as the conversation dwells on old friends and happy memories.

 

 

Siesta

A quiet moment during afternoon tea in a lovely old cottage in the Blists Hill Victorian Museum in Shropshire, England, and given an old masters treatment.

 

The Bank Manager

Queen Victoria, Empress of India, looks down on the manager of the bank in the Victorian town at Blists Hill open air museum.

 

Cottage Bedroom

A homely scene of a Victorian bedroom that has a true lived in feel about it despite being found in a small cottage in the grounds of the Blists Hill open air museum in Shropshire, England.

 

The Doctor’s Wife

This is another charming period scene taken inside the house of a doctor that is a recreation of a nineteenth century property at the Victorian town of the Ironbridge Gorge Museum next to the river Severn in Shropshire, England.

I love the way that local people who work here manage to get into the character of the times through their dress and manner.

 

Blakemore’s Shop

This is Blakemore’s grocery store and is one of many Victorian period shops at the Blists Hill Museum at Ironbridge in Shropshire. This is one of a series of images taken on our visit here with the family, so there are more to come.

 

Outside Blakemore’s

This is a street scene taken at the Victorian Town, a part of the Ironbridge Gorge Museum.

The machine appears to be either farming or road laying equipment.
