Visited this fantastic museum with children .It didn't disappoint.A particular thankyou to the staff of the wheelchair friendly bus .All museum staff were welcoming and knowledgeable.

Brilliant. After the garage with its motorbikes, this was my favourite shop. Crammed with all sorts of nostalgia from floor to ceiling.

Beamish is an amazing place. We only got around half of it! We will be back!
