Exploring the past to shape our children’s future
Stanley Mills
We developed bespoke character led workshops for schools and learning groups on site at Stanley Mills in Perthshire for Historic Environment Scotland.
Child workers workshop
The children were welcomed to the site by Janet Scott, a mill worker from 1838 and put into role and costume as child workers of the period. The children spent half a day on site, including taking lunch ‘in period’, learning how children in the past would spend their day working in the mill.
Mill inspectors workshop
Mill Inspectors workshop for S1/2 pupils where the children were invited to the year 1835 to investigate life at the Mill in role as Inspectors for Parliament and then to debate the improvements that should or should not be made.
