Fix this textTHE ENGLAND OF BYGONE DAYS STILL LIVES IN YORK MUSEUM
Fix this textART-GALLERIES and museums in Britain are famous for their variety
Fix this textand richness, but the nation's treasures are not confined only to London.
Fix this textHere, for example, is a section of the unique Castle Museum, York; a
Fix this textcobbled street lined with shops, which depicts the daily life, activities and
Fix this textoccupations of a century ago.
Fix this textIt was opened in 1938, and is now regarded as one of the leading folk-
Fix this textmuseums in Britain, and owes its origin to Dr. J. L. Kirk, a noted antiquary,
Fix this textof Pickering. He spent his lifetime collecting the widest range of personal
Fix this textand domestic objects connected with the daily life of people in York and
Fix this textneighboring districts. This unique collection reached such massive propor-
Fix this texttions that accommodation became a problem until the York Corporation
Fix this textallocated a building suitable for exhibiting these relics of former ways of
Fix this textlife.
Fix this textA striking feature of the museum is its cobbled “street,” a composite
Fix this textstructure representing a typical thoroughfare of a Yorkshire town a century
Fix this textago. The atmosphere of bygone days is admirably created in a setting cover-
Fix this texting various periods from Tudor to Victorian times. The variety of trades
Fix this textrepresented include a wine-merchant, silversmith, coppersmith, glassmaker,
Fix this textpewterer and apothecary.
Fix this textIn addition to the shops there is a tallow-dip factory, a fire-station, a
Fix this textcoaching-house and, standing on the cobbled roadway, is a hansom-cab,
Fix this textcomplete with horse and “cabby.”
Fix this textAnother part of the museum shows genuine shop-fronts of the Georgian
Fix this textand Regency periods covering a further range of trades, such as clockmaker,
Fix this textcordwainer and saddler. In the workrooms behind the shop-fronts can be
Fix this textseen in authentic detail the methods of craftsmanship, the tools and equip-
Fix this textment used in making the products on view.
Fix this textOther remarkable collections of wide variety are shown in galleries on
Fix this textthe upper floors of the building, where furnished Period Rooms illustrate
Fix this texthousehold life in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. There can be seen, for
Fix this textexample, the interior of a moorland cottage with stone-flagged floor, turf
Fix this textfire, rushlights and the family four-poster bed.
