Beamish – the living museum of the North.

It's absolutely HUGE! Have you been?

They also have collections they haven't got room to display.

I discovered they had two works photograph albums from Vickers Armstrong dating from about 1918 to 1940. Fortunately they had digital images of all the photos and kindly allowed me to make them available on a special blog

Not since about 1976. Fond memories though and it looks as if it's got much bigger in the intervening years.

I'm not going anywhere near a living museum until I find out what it eats.

Lol !

I've been to Crich and Amberley (which I'm disappointed to see doesn't seem to have the museum of concrete anymore).

Yes, its better when there are not so many visitors, as its more atmospheric.
Definitely worth a visit!
