Children showing interest in History

[Viktoria]

yes they had them in some girls magazines in the 60's ..Bunty ?JUDY ??

OOOOH Bunty I go back a long way, early1940`s for me.
We also liked the magic painting books ( which rather defeated the object).
 You just wet the various area and the paint was in the paper, not strong colours, pastels mostly.

Above the is a piece of Slate which fell of roof of a house 107 years old

Museum curator told my detective club that the origin of this slate and its age from quarry more like 200 years

Next to the doll is a pottery cheetah money box made by my father .pottery was a hobby before silverware there were 7 animal / bird money boxes altogether this one was mine .the owl contained pennies from Victorian times to decimilization the hedgehog had farthings  sisters have a hippo and a panda
