Our speaker in March, Sally French-Greenslade, took us back over a century to a Victorian living room. Using a wide range of artefacts, Sally gave us a glimpse of life when Queen Victoria was on the throne. Chamber candlesticks showed us the way to bed before electricity appeared; Victorian face shields in front of the coal fire kept the ladies complexions pale before central heating arrived; embroidered samplers showed off the ladies' craft skills; many other decorative and practical items illustrated the domestic life of the times.
