BEAMISH TOWN PART TWO - THE LIVING MUSEUM OF THE NORTH


Beamish, The North of England Open Air Museum is an open air museum located in the town of Stanley, County Durham, England. Beamish tries to show what life was like in a typical northern town in the early 20th century — much of the restoration and interpretation is specific to 1913. Aside from the main town however there is also the manor house and the railway which are based on 1825.
Take the tram down the cobbled street and make a special journey into the past. Explore the bustling Edwardian Town.
The Town represents a typical North Eastern market town in the years leading up to the First World War.  

The Beamish Tramway - Trams operate regular service throughout the day.
The last tram from The Town is at 4.00 pm

White bed linen on 4 post bed - very typical English style .
