Blists Hill - Living Victorian Town - A Complete Tour - Ironbridge
Join us as we take a step back in time to the Victorian era, here in England, where we visit the brilliant Blists Hill Victorian Living Museum.
The Blists Hill Victorian Town Museum is in Ironbridge, Telford, UK and is said to be the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution.
We take a complete tour of this Victorian Town, starting off by changing our cash to old money at the Lloyds Bank, all the way to the far end of the town to the Hay Incline Plane.
We join in a traditional music hall sing song in the old pub, and learn about lots of trading skills along the way.
You couldn't visit the Blists Hill Victorian Town without visiting the old chip shop, where the chips are cooked in beef fat, or getting a bag of old style sweets for the journey home.
At the end of our trip to the museum, we head a few minutes down the road into the town of Ironbridge where we look around the town, marvel at the stunning, Thomas Farnolls Pritchard designed, 'Iron Bridge'.
In true postcard and a pint style, we finish of the day with a nice cold pint.
We hope you enjoy stepping back in time with us.

⭐ About Postcard & A Pint:
Welcome to the official Postcard & A Pint KZread channel.
Postcard & A Pint was thought up by my partner, Rachel & myself, Wills one day while taking our daily 1 hour exercise during the lockdown of 2020. All of a sudden, we were spending more time together, not working 6 or 7 days a week in the arts industry, and binge watching travel programs, and we were actually really enjoying it, and it made us re-evaluate what was important in life for us. Now back to working 6 or 7 days a week again, with very little time off, our happy time is getting out there on our brief times off together and making short travel videos that we are now sharing with you. It's just a bit of fun, and great for our sanity. Your support is hugely appreciated x

I grew up with a Victorian I Pad and didn't even know it. LOL! We have been to a few living museums like this here in the US and we always love them. It is so cool to experience just a bit of what life used to be like in past generations. The actors at these places dressed in period costume are always fun to talk with about what their life was like in the past. Wills certainly had a lot going on in Victorian times. Thanks for the tour of Blists Hill Victorian Living Museum - and Ironbridge.

I'm not even exaggerating when I say this is EXACTLY the sort of place I would absolutely go wild for. Immersive, recreated history is one of my favorite things... museums with rebuilt rooms, old manors with recreated spaces... a whole village of it and I'd go crazy! We actually have pioneer village in the middle of our city, but it's like a postage stamp compared to Blists Hill. I love that's it's museums within a museum as well. Very meta. Just a lovely place I know we're going to have to check out when we visit. Ironbridge looks fantastic as well! What a quaint, gorgeous place. Perfect spot for a shandy. Thank you for this amazing tour Rach and Wills! One of your best yet!

You’re welcome for the joke!!!! Aw. We love Blists Hill. You’ve got to do the sing song in the pub - did you spot that the pianist is also the policeman (I think he is in your video - we only see the back of his head!!). Also couldn’t help noticing when you were eating your chips - were those kids kicking ducks?? I need to watch again to check! 🤣 Fab video. Thoroughly enjoyed. Xx

I did think the policeman was the same guy, didn’t ask him to find out. The kids were just scaring the ducks, if they’d kicked one, then I would be most cross and telling them off! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the joke!! Well thank Ella!!
Loved the skipping! What a fantastic place, the singalong was awesome, the actors were good sports to let you film them, it really helped give us a real feel for the town! I bet the incline plane was a spectacle in the day. £21.50 is not a bad price for all those sights and activities! Never been to Ironbridge, it looks very quaint! Of course there is a Christmas Shop, how on earth do you find these places? Nice shandy and summary guys! Cheers to the good times! 🍻

The skulking was definitely a tribute to you two!! It’s a great museum and I think it’s very worth the money for all you get (parking not included though!!!). We loved Ironbridge - we were lucky the entire day was so quiet with people, I’m sure it’s not as pleasant when it’s heaving with tourists!! Yep, Wills can sniff out a Christmas shop at any given time!! Cheers and thanks for watching 🍻

Thanks for watching. Our music all come from Epidemic. We pay £10 per month which I think is brilliant value considering how big their library is. X
Can it be truly Victorian without barefoot street urchins and the consumption? That aside it does look like fun. Coincidentally we found a quaint old wooden drop dunny, still in use (I mean available to use, I didn't surprise some poor old church goer on the shitter), at a church on our current trip. Horrible flash backs to my youth. It even had a red backed spider like the song says.

It would be more authentic. You see that’s why Australia me, (not you on the shitter 🤣)it’s the bitey things wot kill you casually hanging around! You guys have way too many violent insects and reptiles!!! Thanks for watching 🍻
how much time would you dedicate to Blist Hill, and also how much time for Ironbridge if you did all the museums? Thanks for your help!

Oh wow, difficult question. You can quite happily spend half a day at Blists Hill. The music in the pub is only at certain times (from memory we went around midday). We've not done the other museums together, but I think I've been to Coalport as a child, so we can't really help you on those, but if you want to experience all the shops, talks, music and interact with the 'townsfolk' a good half day should do you. Cheers 🍻

They were miners candles, they put copper oxide in them so all miners had green candles. If you were found to have had one at home, it meant you’d stolen it!! They were also poisonous!!

The Lifestyle of the Victorian Policeman was particularly harsh & the pay was poor, about the same as a Farm Labourer, well through it was better in some City Forces.
