It was WW2 'Home Front' day for Yr6 at Stoke Holy Cross Primary School yesterday and I enjoyed working with Hands On The Past! I covered the role of the Home Guard and the (later) annual stirrup pump competition later proved particularly popular, if damp... 😄 www.nigelamieshistoricaleducation.com

Some chums of mine are taking part in this WW2 mystery, family event at Fort Nelson over half term, with Time Will Tell Theatre. I can't do it this year but last year's Victorian one was great fun: highly recommended! www.facebook.com/share/p/1Atv...

I worked today at Ancient House Museum with home educators on the topic of writer, Thomas Paine (born on this day in 1737 in Thetford) and the American Revolution, 1775-1783! We even got to see his deathmask... For more see: www.facebook.com/share/p/16Yt... www.facebook.com/share/p/1WJk...

Is it still pantomime season? Victorian horror story perhaps? No, just me having fun at a Maharajah Duleep Singh educational day for local children at Ancient House Museum! We've discussed the Anglo-Sikh Wars and other aspects of Victorian life. www.ancienthouse.norfolk.gov.uk/article/3068...

I was recently delighted to receive a replica Wakefield hanger from Tod of Tod Cutler: it's of great quality and a real beauty! See: todcutler.com/products/wak... The hanger will complete my Tudor soldier/militiaman impression. www.nigelamieshistoricaleducation.com

It's shocking what they make these new-fangled coppers wear these days! 😄 Another Victorian crime and punishment day at Lynn Museum and Stories of Lynn. For details re Lynn Museum's Star Wars exhibition see: www.lynnmuseum.norfolk.gov.uk/article/6907... www.nigelamieshistoricaleducation.com

I've finally finished restoring my, rather battered, 1925 pattern, British army Wolseley Helmet! It took over a year before I plucked up the courage to fit the pagri/puggarree onto it! Contemporary image: laststandonzombieisland.com/tag/wolseley... www.nigelamieshistoricaleducation.com
