This is a magnificent Victorian pram. It has
traditional basketwork, a leather hood and an iron frame with
unmistakable Victorian engineering. John and Florence Banfield's five
children were christened at Saint Andrew's church each wearing the
lovely white gown shown draping from the pram. This was about 100 years
ago when they lived in Church Street. John Banfield was a cooper.
This
is just one of many exhibits which take you straight back to people and
times gone by. What was it like in the past? The Singer sewing machine,
the manual shop till, the kitchen, cricket and school collections can
each speak a thousand words!
