Remaking Beamish Project November 2022 Update

We've been full of busy on our Remaking Beamish project 1950s Town construction site recently! Here’s Cassie, our Remaking Beamish Design Project Officer, to give us a whistle stop tour on what we can look forward to!
Thanks to the money raised by National Lottery players, the project was awarded a £10.9million grant by The National Lottery Heritage Fund in 2016.

Lush to see the acknowledgement of the part that the disabled comunity has at Beamish, and the efforts to make the museum mire accessible!

I can't wait to see all the 1950s builds when I visit.

I remember when Beamish came to view our closing corner shop in the mid 80's built in 1901 originally as a butchers and after the war became a general dealers with all its period shelving and signage and weighing equipment stain glass windows with brass winding rope opening mechanisms catering size food branded storage tins that held currants and raisins and rice. It was a sad day when they left and told my parents it was too modern for beamish and they wanted nothing not even a steel advertising board from outside. It all got broken up and went to landfill think all the vintage weighing machines went to scrap... It was such a shame
But I suppose they cannot take everything still nice to visit and bring back memories

I went August 2019, loved it and am desperate to go back but it's an 8 hour drive!

Glad to see such a big expansion! I’ve been visiting for years, my last visit being 2021, and every time there’s been something new to see. One question though, are these builds all replicas are are some original buildings moved with replacement timbers etc like some of the buildings in the 1920s area?
