OUR TRIP TO THE BEAMISH MUSEUM
The first port of call during our trip to the wilds of the North was a day at the Beamish Museum. This marvelous place depicts life as it was at the turn of the 20th Century for the residents of the North East and much of Northern England. The town has been returned to the way it was and the pit village looks as it did all those years ago. The transport system is authentic with the trams, trolley buses and vehicles which operated then, as they do now. The only difference being that all rides are free so mobility is not a problem. What an interesting place for our first visit. It was hardly surprising that we returned a few days later to see what we had not had chance to visit first time round. The difference being that our original admission charge lasts a whole year for as many visits that one can fit in. JG
