Hi all,
I was recently in York visiting my Uncle and I thought I would visit York castle museum. I got to see what it was like living in Victorian houses, toys from the past century, what houses looked like in the past, world war one trenches and uniforms and I even saw a real life Victorian cobble street in the middle of the museum, Wow!
I had a great time and took some photos

| Victorian cobbled street |
This is the cobbled street that I had heard about before and I was excited to see it as it shows what it would have looked like in Victorian times. You can also enter replica shops and what they would sell to customers. There is a sweet shop which you can buy sweets that they would have had in that period.

| Me in a prison cell |
I was by myself at the castle, but this nice woman asked if I wanted my photo taken as I was on my own. I thought she was very nice to ask as she was the only person who offered throughout the castle.

| In a prison cell inside the castle prison |
You get to see what the castle prison would have looked like in the past. In every cell you go in, there is a motion sensor on a projector which plays a short clip of a person who would have been in the prison at different times. I really enjoyed listening/watching why people went into the prison and what their fate would be, but I could hear some people grumbling as they thought it took too long!
