Learning Resource
Below is a link to our Learning Resource - a document full of information and images about life as a stoker during the First World War. The document contains case studies of 5 individual Derbyshire Stokers researched and written by historian Laura Alston. The resource can be used to help children learn about the First World War and in particular how people living in Derbyshire contributed to it.
Laura is also available for talks and workshops and can be contacted via our contacts page.
