Description: | This duck lived on a farm in Lincolnshire in the 1850s. It was kept as a pet by Elsie's grandmother. When it died the family had it stuffed. Two generations later, Elsie brought it to Croydon with her in 1934. Elsie's family were part of a trend of migration to Croydon. In the 1920s and 1930s the borough's population grew rapidly. People came to Croydon from central London and surrounding counties to find work and new homes. The duck has been kept by the family as a memento of when they lived in Lincolnshire. Many families keep things to remind them of their history. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Croydon Museum and Heritage Service | Rights holder: | Croydon Museum and Heritage Service | Subjects: | Home and Family | Temporal: | 1850-1934 | Source: | Croydon Museum and Heritage Service | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
