 Dorset House Takes ‘Trip’ Down Memory Lane with Suitcase of Old Memorabilia

The Droitwich Heritage Centre donated a suitcase filled with old objects and memorabilia for residents at Dorset House.

The home’s residents were nostalgic whilst looking at an old brochure of 'Jack and the Beanstalk', bringing back memories of actors from 1952. While browsing old magazines, Russian ration cards and identification cards, the residents recollected memories of the war-time years. Childhood memories were evoked through seeing old household items, from floor soap to hair cream, and even an old wooden mushroom used to sew socks. 
 
Lifestyle Coordinator, Lisa Davis said: “It was great to see the resident's faces as they recalled the memories!”
