A mock-up of an old school at the Museum of Childhood. The desks came from the original school nearby at Cenarth. On the desks in the foreground are slates and an ink-can for filling the ink wells, behind them a cane and a wooden device for forcing children to sit up straight, to the right a Welsh-not, a piece of wood that would be passed on, from child to child, to anyone who failed to speak in English.
