VICTORIAN SHOP
The history of shopping in Framley dates back more than ten years.
Why not visit our fully accurate recreation of a typical Victorian
Shop? Visitors can see and smell the sounds of a real 19 Centuryth
chemists, and even buy some carbolic soap from an animatronic
Bobby Ball, specially given to the musuem by Madame Tussauds.

SHOPPING IN THE 20
And what wonderful things our ancestors bought in their shopping
baskets! This popular doll of Pope Pius XI from the 1920s was
filled with holy bubblebath that relaxed away your sins. If you'd
like to have a bath, just call the curator on the usual number.

... FRAMLEY SHOPS TODAY
And look at where we've come! To Framley town centre's Arnhem
Shopping Centre, recreated in full in the museum's Arnhem Centre
Experience, and staffed by real 15-year-olds in period costume.
Gasp in wonder as Enid on the music desk at Woolworths can’t
find the video that you’re looking for even though the computer
says they’ve got one. Marvel at the security guard getting harassed
by a man with nuts in his beard.
Your life can’t get any more shopping than this!
