What was the show about Victorians called?

[TonyJWHill]

That was shown in primary schools and followed a group of kids that had gone to live and work in the city with their uncle at a textile factory. It was set in the North and Victorian england... I think the uncle was called Gideon but it's been buggin the hell outta me

Is it How We Used To Live?

I know it ran for years but I only watched the 1954-70 series at school.

I remember the eerie theme song ..
" When will I see you , when can I see your face? Midnight's not a moment - Midnight is a place" (or words something like that )

Can't find much online about Midnight is a place but no doubt someone can provide a link

I'm pretty sure that was a series of How We Used To Live. They went to Harrogate, yes? And they were shown 'taking in the waters' of Harrogate Spa...

No, it wasn't midnight is a place. The uncle was very fond and loving and didn't own anything either. I've had a look but can't find anything in the way of screen images etc for The Way We Used To Live so I could say yay or nay

Re: What was the show about Victorians called?

Ah, as good as that looks I'm afraid it's not the show. This was a really poor family, living in workhouses, I think the uncle was ginger

The series spanned several generations Tony. Have a click on the related vids to the right (on YouTube), see if it's any of those. If not at least we've narrowed the field a bit.

I know you're joking but that was the span of the series, at one year a week from autumn 1987 to spring 1988.
