Beamish

Beamish is a world famous open air museum that tells the story of everyday life in North East England in Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian and World War Two periods. Most of the houses, shops and other buildings have been brought to Beamish, rebuilt and furnished as they once were. Costumed staff welcome visitors to a 1900s Town, Railway Station and Pit Village, 1940s Farm, and an 1820s Pockerley Old Hall and Waggonway. The site is linked by a one and a half mile length circular period tramway which carries visitors around the Museum.
