Researching the volumes of social and domestic history from the fascinating historical archives
We're delving into the historic archives for a fascinating visit back in time, primarily focused on the Victorian and Edwardian eras, with plenty from the Tudors, Georgians, Post-War England and likely many more, in-between.
We're looking at recipes, kitchen methods, household management, daily routines - both upstairs and downstairs - and sharing all of the wisdom and discoveries found along the way.
"Keep on going, and the chances are that you will stumble on something, perhaps when you are least expecting it. I never heard of anyone ever stumbling on something sitting down."
