Learning activities

No specific learning activities have been outlined for the Town Trails, which are designed to help children explore local Victorian buildings and learn about typical features of Victorian architecture:

The Source gallery includes modern photographs of Victorian buildings still existing, and maps indicating the sites of the buildings featured. The architectural features illustrated will help children to recognise Victorian buildings in their own town or local area.

Many more images of buildings from this period are available on the website West Sussex Past Pictures. One way to source images from your local area on the westsussexpast site: click on Search the Database, then type the following into the search box: architecture/period/victorians followed by the name of your town - for example, architecture/period/victorians Crawley.
