From the moment that they pass through the front door of Mrs Pearson’s House, pupils enter a different world, that of life in the early Victorian age and textile making in the cottage home before the transition to mill production. As their day visit unfolds through a range of hands-on activities, the dedicated and committed volunteers, without whom this museum would not exist, help pupils to understand in depth about their local history and heritage. Pupils and teachers are clear that the Victorian Living Experience at Colne Valley Museum successfully and dynamically brings the past to life.
