| Results and Impact | This school project took place at the Manor CE School, Millfield Lane, Nether Poppleton, York. A class of 13 and 14 years olds Year 9 students took part in the project which traced the lives of children of their own age living in their area in the 1890s investigating similar concepts and adopting parallel methodologies to those in our research project. The project was supported by the Manor CE School Head of History and Poppleton History Society members. The project resulted in extensive discussion among the students regarding health and social history and approaches to researching the links between them. This school placement disseminated results from the research project directly to students in the local community and supported the link between the University, local schools and community groups. |
