My wife and I were looking forward to visiting the Victorian town and we were not disappointed. We saw some bread being made and went back an hour later and bought some to take back with us . The chip shop frys it's fish and chips in beef fat so they really do taste like they did when I was...

Great experiance of the times, we found all shops and houses very interesting and the staff were very informative when asked questions. We had a great laugh in the pub with the singalong, the gentlemen were very amusing.
We tried the chips and would recommend that anyone with heart problems avoid, ha , as there cooked in full lard.
Would...

lovely too look around, worth taking photo's check out shops, lovely to visit late spring/early summer
Brilliant! The best place in the museum is the sweet shop and fish and chip shop! We went a long time ago and it is so much bigger now than it was before. Loads to see and do!

This was an unexpectedly pleasant attraction. I have been to a number of old world recreation attractions, and they are always interesting. This one was probably one of the best. The authenticity was of high quality and the fact that the theme stick closely to the history of the area made even more of an impact. It was not expensive,...
