This is a photograph showing two of the actresses from Blists Hill Victorian Town, part of the Iron Bridge Gorge Museums Group. The lady on the left is the Victorian school Head Mistress, returning from her lessons with her friend, who is a local housewife. The housewife has collected groceries from the nearby market place. In the background, the local candlestick maker's building is shown. This was an in demand business in this era, with candles providing light to the numerous mines and industrial buildings surrounding the local Ironbridge Gorge - the birthplace of industry.
