Time travelling (part 3) A walk in the past!

I hope you're ready for your next trip through time! We're now off to Telford in Shropshire, to beautiful Ironbridge, and our first visit is to the wonderful
Blists Hill Victorian Town
So here we are, wondering where to go first......


.... I know, we'd better go to the bank...

..... the bank clerk tells us that our finances are in order, so we won't have to see the bank manager! Thank goodness, I wouldn't want to climb those stairs! (What a smartly dressed man the clerk is!)
Hubby wants a quick look in the bicycle shop, he's looking for a new bicycle....

....... I wonder if it's this one he's looking at?????

...maybe not!
Well, I'm just popping into the grocers, next door., I want some mint tablets, Her Majesty's, of course!

.....

......let's move on to the chemists next door.....


........is there anything in here you'll need???

......look at all those shelves and drawers...

....I wonder what's in them all, look, there's more.......
......but right in the corner is where the dentist has his room, shall we take a look inside.....



....let's move on shall we, to something more pleasant.....

... we might be in here a while, I have some ribbon to buy......

..... and a pretty lace collar.....

.......and I really need some more sewing needles....

....I shall have to stay and have a chat with Mrs McClure. She has some lovely new fabric to show me!
Well we've been in here far too long, I think we should pop over the road for fish and chips, they're just about to open, (and it'll only cost us 1/6d !!!)
Let's eat and then we can carry on!
