Year 5 take a trip to find out more about Hackney's Victorian era.
Year 5 enjoyed a trip to Hackney Museum to find out about life in Hackney during the Victorian era. They found out about the industrial revolution and the jobs that people had, including children who were tasked with making matchboxes. They were shocked to discover the dangerous working conditions that people experienced and held a protest in Hackney library for better pay and working conditions!
