Explore how childhood has changed over time through this family friendly interactive exhibition from Staffordshire Archives and Heritage Service, supported by Arts Council England.

For most of us, childhood is more than just the age between birth and adulthood. It is seen as a time of innocence and safety, with time to explore and develop. Although remembered fondly, with nostalgia and laughter, it can also be a frightening time, affected by events far beyond a child’s control.

From work and play to school and times of need, this exhibition explores the lives of children past and present and there are games to play, interactive activities and toys to explore, all through the eyes of a child.
