- Exciting times 🎉! Work is beginning on The Grand Cinema, Romer Parrish toy shop and A Reece Ltd electrical shop in our 1950s Town as part of our Remaking Beamish project!
The museum is recreating The Grand Cinema from Ryhope in Sunderland, where you’ll will be able to enjoy a 1950s cinema experience.
A toy shop named after the popular Romer Parrish store in Middlesbrough, and an electrical shop and repair workshop, A Reece Ltd, are also being built on The 1950s Town’s Front Street terrace.
Work is nearing completion on our 1950s semi-detached houses, police houses and office, bowling pavilion and green, and aged miners’ homes, which are due to open this summer. The cinema and shops are due to be open next year.
Thanks to money raised by National Lottery players, the Remaking Beamish project was awarded £10.9million by the National Lottery Heritage Fund in 2016.

I'm so excited I love beamish it's my favorite place
I can't wait! I alao cannot wait to stay over in the coach house!
Looks like another 5 hour drive down to Beamish needs to be planned again when the street is all done. Super exciting things happening it looks like. I spent the weekend there in September 2022 after wanting to go there for so long and it was such a memorable trip. If it was local to me I'd be there so regularly!
I’m lucky enough to live a 20 minute drive from Beamish witch enables me to take advantage of the yearly pass
@@Renwick19 That's amazing! You lucky duck 😄
A wonderful project, will be fabulous to see when completed. I had to laugh at the old photo of the toy shop with an advertisement above the doorway for Woodbines! …. the entrance to a toy shop! What would health and safety say today! Looking forward to updates throughout the project, well done.
The good thing about Beamish is that it’s ever growing with new builds so you’ll never get board of going
What kind of projections will there be?
Police House.
