CHILDREN in Year 1 at Brookham Pre-Prep in Liphook enjoyed a trip to the Rural Life Centre in Tilford as part of their topic ‘Children Like Us’ to experience what life was like in the past.

The children dressed up in Victorian clothes and experienced life as a Victorian child. They also attended a lesson in a period classroom taught by a strict school teacher, used slates, pens and ink, did some washing with old fashioned equipment and fetched water from the pump.
