The heatwave vs. Victorian clothing

Available for over a year

Spare a thought for the costumed actors at Blists Hill Victorian Town during the heatwave. In a break with tradition, the actors have been given the choice as to whether they want to don their corsets, waist coats and full length wool skirts. Âé¶¹Éç Radio Shropshire's Paul Shuttleworth stepped back in time to see how the Victorians coped with the heat.
