ARTS IN EDUCATION PROJECT - TIDAL REACH

'A Growing Infection: The Transformation of Victorian London'

The second part of the Tidal Reach programme took place during the 2007 summer term.

The programme was set in 1849, when Victoria was a young mother who had been queen for twelve years, planning for the Great Exhibition had just started, London was growing at a terrifying speed and the poor and vulnerable lived in dread of the workhouse. This was yet another time of rapid change and of uncertainty for many.   

Part of the workshop again took place at Watermen’s Hall, and one of the characters in the production was a lighterman of the time.
