What objects would you find in a 1950s household?

This 1950s objects box was developed with our partners at Bucks Mind and is a great trip down memory lane for groups or families to discuss. It comes with a set of detailed notes to explore changes and continuity using more than 20 original objects from the 1950s. Residents of one care home we lent it to didn’t want to return it as they enjoyed it so much!

Cost: £ 30
Ages: Children of the 1950s
