Clayton Hall Museum Looks Good
By Jim Symcox on Oct 20, 2009 in Manchester, Manchester History, Manchester Life, Schools
Clayton Hall museum looks like a great new school curriculum resource for the Victorian period. It’s about to be opened for exactly that purpose.
Volunteers with help from Manchester Leisure have been decorating and finding appropriate furniture to show how the hall might have looked during Victorian times.
They’ve even had the kitchen range re-installed so that as soon as you walk in it looks just as you’d expect a Victorian kitchen to look.
They’ve just had their open day for teachers to view before the museum’s grand opening.
All the teachers that came were enthusiastic and some have already booked one or more dates to bring classes.
I suspect it could be fun for more schools to find out about this little gem. To see the progress to date check the Friends of Clayton Park’s where there are some nice photos of people working!
