I too was born in 1948 in a miners tied cottage belonging to the NCB we had no running water no bathroom, toilet was outside in the yard and all the occupants had to build their own kitchen by erecting a wooden lean to on the back of the house, the only means of heat in the cottage was provided by a Triplex fire, in the winter we used to scrape the ice off the inside of the bedroom windows, I could go on but I dont want to make any one jealous.
1952 vintage, wow outpatients first house in Tottenham ,similar to those ,stair rods, quilts on the beds, 2 in winter and extra blankets, no central heating, ice on inside of metal framed windows. Bannisters boarded in, happy days
Back in 1979 I worked at Beamish, when it had only been open a relatively few years. It's astonishing to see just how much it's grown since. The late Frank Atkinson, the first director of the museum was a true visionary and a really nice guy to boot. Well done everyone who works, and has worked there.
Can remember so much of this stuff. I lived in Stone Row, Denton Burn, now part of Newcastle. All colliery owned houses. I just about used all this stuff. Great times. I was born in 1947.
Having grown up in a newly built house in the 1950s, this place needs some prefabs. We had a whole estate of them behind our house which were demolished in the 60s.
I was born in 1951 and that house took me back to my childhood . We had that kitchen sink and washer. Bedroom was just like my late parents but we didn't have flying ducks on wall. Born and bred in County Durham
They’ve done a great job, I’ll be going back as more of it opens up, so please, could you hit like and subscribe, it helps me out and helps youtube to share the video. Thanks!
OMG that is so good. I wasn't sure how well they'd imagine a 1950s home, but the attention to detail is spot on - right down to the concrete roads and bedding. The house looks just like how I remember my grandparents home in the mid 70s (their house was new in the 1950s and I guess they hadn't updated their decor). Your shot walking around the house was almost like I was back at my grans in the summer of '76.

I WAS BORN IN 1945 IN A PREFAB IN SUNDERLAND . MY FAMILY MOVED TO PENNYWELL. I REALLY ENJOYED THE 1950S OPENING . MY PARENTS DID NOT HAVE MUCH FURNITURE AS SHOWN ON THE TOWN OPENING.

Are you watching all you young people, this is what ordinary working people with a little effort saving for a small deposit, rent or buy could afford. You should not accept your generations lot and question everything you have been told and taught.
…with a little effort…. Is somewhat misleading. Note that generation did not routinely run cars, did not have holidays, certainly not foreign holidays, did not have mobilephones / probably couldnt afford a landline, unlikely to have had a tv. All the income would have gone on food, fuel and paying the mortgage - no meals out, no holidays, no cars ( never mind a new car every few years ). Not saying todays youngters dont have a tough time getting on the housing ladder but it is by no means as simple as you imply.
@@doobiedootwo3517 it's quite difficult compare. Apples and oranges. For what its worth I never go on holiday, or eat out very much. That said I can remember people being hungry and interest rates squeezing people to the last penny in the 1980's. When house prices were most affordable it was because most couldn't comprehend maintaining them.
How bizarre. There's a theme park of 1880's stuff near me built in the 1960's so I guess it makes sense now we'd had a 1950's themepark built in the 2020's. Still seems odd though. Don't personally have much affection for the plastic fantastic formica topped dream but horses for courses.
The filming was great, but unless you composed that, abnoxious, muzak type soundtrack, which was completely unnecessary, there was no need for it and would have been much better with the natural background noises .
I was born 1948 and grew up on a council estate I was 7 when we got television. no phones, we played outside in the street morn to night.
I was born in 1977, don’t the same

I remember a lot of the things in the house
It's a bad sign when things you grew up with are now in a museum
Ah cool! thanks for watching

@@doobiedootwo3517It's very simple. You decide what are your priorities.

Give it a try and see if you are. But perhaps be prepared for disappointment.
What do you mean? Sorry haha

the video would,ve been much better without the irritating music.
Sorry. But a lot of times there were other people having conversations etc
The filming was great, but unless you composed that, abnoxious, muzak type soundtrack, which was completely unnecessary, there was no need for it and would have been much better with the natural background noises .
Thanks for your feedback
no accounting for taste/ excellent drone footage
Never used a drone 🤔
Sounds like music to accompany films in the fifties
