Description
Step back in time to the late Victorian period and experience Hampshire during the Industrial Revolution. Explore an authentically recreated network of streets, houses and factories, and discover a host of fascinating objects and vehicles. Call into the Baverstoke Arms and drink in the Edwardian atmosphere. Join Mrs Cox and her contemporaries as they recreate the war-time era and find out how to ‘make do and mend’. There’s something for everyone at Milestones. Come and discover your past!
