In this weeks video I travel back to 1910 to experience Christmas for four working class families. Using the wonderful Black Country Living Museum as a backdrop I visit four different houses and explore Christmas in a simpler times on the cusp of the modern era.
Discover how families made the most of the festive season despite tight budgets, challenging conditions and see where some of the traditions of Christmas today began.
I'm Lucy, Social Historian and seriously nosy person! In my weekly videos I like to explore people, places and history often focusing of the lives of normal people usually forgotten about. I film, research, edit and script all my videos and hope you enjoy them!
