Evie by Lynda Page revealed a postcard of the Victorian School of the 3Rs in Llangollen. A young boy called Ben had written to his grandparents in Cheshire during August 2004 telling them about his holiday in a cottage in Wales. This grandmother must have treasured the card with the child’s handwriting, using it as a bookmarker in a well thumbed novel.The museum itself appears to be one of those places where the Victorian past has been preserved in a living archive.
