15 October 2025. As part of Dudley History Festival we welcome Damian Carter with his talk titled Dark History: Vile Victorians.
Daily life in Victorian Britain was filled with hazards like dangerous workplaces, the risk of disease, crime, drowning and starvation. There were also strange dangers, clothing could injure, wallpaper might be toxic, and makeup could be poisonous. Imagine harsh punishments like execution for minor theft, the possibility of being buried alive by mistake or having a photo with a ghost. Explore the dark and fascinating world of the Victorian era, filled with death, doom and disease.
