What a great place to visit the Beamish museum, I love to go back in time and like museums and the streets and shops, thanks for sharing, hope you had a great time,👍
Talbot & Branson , the nlanket was crochet not knitted massive difference between the two. Spit & sawdust pubs not just up north had them in wales and probably all over the uk
I’m 60 and remember visiting my grandmas house just like that one you showed. Big brown heavy furniture & bed room furniture, outside toilet etc… very authentic. It’s like the Black Country museum outside of Birmingham!
One of my Grandads was a bus driver and drove a bus like the one you got on at the beginning of the vlog he used to sit on his newspaper and my Nan was always complaining about him getting news print on the seat of his trousers. Both me and my sister had bedspreads that my other Nan crocheted and she made rag rugs in the 50s when my Mum was a child. I grew up in a 2 bedroom semi detached house built in the early 20th century and we had coal fires in the two rooms downstairs and a coal shed outside which my Dad turned into a shed when electric storage heaters were installed in the 80s.
I was a child in Winchester and we lived in a semi detached council house for several years. This brought back so many memories, we had an outside coal bunker adjacent to a toilet. The kitchen had a gas stove and you had to feed a shilling into a receptacle every so often. The draining board was wooden, there was no fridge but we had a walk in larder which my brother and I popped into periodically to munch on the jelly cubes.This was in the fifties.There was a dining room, lounge and foyer ,upstairs were 3 bedrooms and a full bathroom. I remember it all being very chilly in the winter especially when we got out of the warmth of the bath water,mum would hastily rub us dry and get us into warm pjs form the airing cuboard.We lived in Australia for a while, no more cold,dampness,and then we came to Canada in 1960,Ah central heating. There were so many reminders of our childhood in this regard recreated town.I love returning to England and will be there again in June.Things have really improved in some ways since I was a little girl,I love heated towel rails.
Fab vlog guys. So much has changed at beamish since I visited with my hubby a couple of Novembers ago! It’s great though. If you like that then there’s a place similar called st faggans in wales that you would enjoy. Oh and nick mentioning American adventure ..that was a blast from the past lol x
The scene where Mrs Patmore and Daisy go in is in the Co-op I believe. I havent been for a fews years and it has grown so much. A yearly pass is great, visiting at different times of the year. My sister says its great at Christmas. So pleased you liked it, my neck of the woods. Did you see the dentist? It was on the same street as the teachers house. 😊 xx
You two would love the Black Country museum in Birmingham . A lot like the one you visited but with old pubs, fish and chips bakery, attend school life when it was 1912 and a coal mine .
Great vlog guys. We love Beamish. Went to the bakers the last time we went and the bread we bought was beautiful. Hope you went in the old sweetshop while you were there and got your free handmade sweets. X
@@TheLodgeGuys oh no. We got free pear drops that they were making on the day. I know they also do rock rolling and fudge making too. Maybe on your next trip. Xx
Seeing your posts about Portmeirion in Wales, you should go to Plas Newydd, Bodnant garden in the summer, such a beautiful place and visit the castles in Gwynedd and Anglesey. The smallest house in Wales in Conwy too x
Yes nick its a town in diffrent years there is a new part 1950/60 all part of museum, ive been back a few times & each time i find something diffrent The old scool & pit houses is great in the town they have a onsite bakery pub & sweet shop the staff, are dress in costume & there all informed if you as questions
Beamish is great. They always aim to have a decade represented that living people can relate to. Hence why you loved the 1950's area, as we did. Not that any of us were born then but recognised things from grandparents houses passed down bring nice memories back to us all.
Six houses in the 1920 pit village were originally from my home town They were dismantled and rebuilt at Beamish. The silver band hall which was at the end of my street, was donated to Beamish by the former members of the band.
You have to go back at Christmas. We go every Christmas as a family as we only live in Sunderland. It’s so magical. You can make your own decorations, they have a snowman and fake snow….. it’s just amazing. The 1950’s houses haven’t even been up a year yet. Can’t believe tho you missed the famous sweet shop next to Barclays in the 1950’s village and the icecream hut next to the train station is amazing.
Beamish is an absolute gem! You have made me want to visit again soon, they were just building the 1950’s houses last time I was there! Did you not go on the shuggy boats at the fair?
I hate to tell you this but we were born in the 50’s and we had electric and tv ! Yup it wasn’t that long ago , I however didn’t have indoor plumbing , loo at the bottom of the garden and tin bath infront of the fire ( from where we watched the tv ).
It must be 20 years since we took the kids there. It was wonderful. We took them down the pit, I remember. As you said , all those houses were new to when we visited
We absolutely love Beamish and visit regularly with our kids - they have learnt so much from visiting. So glad you enjoyed it! Christmas is really good, they also do Beamish Christmas Evenings (which is an additional charge) which are amazing.
Yet another fascinating location in the UK you’ve shown us that those of us in the US probably would never know existed. Even though I was born in the 1950s, my real memories start for the most part in the early 60s, and I’m sure a recreation of American life in the 50s would be just as interesting to see.
Apart from the 1950s area all of the buildings were taken down brick-by-brick and reassembled at Beamish so they would have once been used. You didn't vlog going down the mine. I hope you didn't miss it.
What a lovely vlog. So enjoyable to see around Beamish. Your excitement was infectious. Ah-hem…. some of us were born in the 50s you know 🤣🤣. The trams in Glasgow were still running in the 50s but phased out by 1962. I used to be scared of getting stuck in the rails. In the 60s I used to ride the back entry buses to get to the High School. The boys used to hang by the back handle and/or pole to try and jump off before the bus came to a halt. Gillian McKie (YT decided to attach a version of my user account on comments).
Brilliant, we’ll definitely do this if we are in the area, I thought the entry fee sounded reasonable, you definitely should go again at Christmas, oh we used your link to surf shark in Florida last month, it worked seamlessly, thanks x
there ones like beamish in northern Ireland called ulster folk and transport or the ulster American folk park if you ever do your van in northern Ireland
Great video as always. Just a thought, Why not pop a fold out storage box one of the material ones inside the box with the air frying. In. Would make it easier to lift it In and out of the box and save you putting a bottom on. Happy travels. 🚐
It’s many years since I’ve been there. The 1950s part wasn’t there then that looked amazing. When Nick pointed out the wicker laundry box I laughed as I remember my sister climbing in my Dads and she got stuck! The pottery thing on top of the bed was an hot water bottle that you filled up with hot water and put in the bed. When we went there was an old lady dressed in costume by the fire making a rug out of rags.
Just watched beamish vlog. Loved it. By the way most or all of the buildings have been in towns/villages in the past and then recreated at beamish. The cinema used to be in my mums old village ryhope near Sunderland and I can remember going when I was little on a sat morning. They only building part of it I think. We don’t like the fish and chips but the pasties and veg soup at the pit village are lovely. It’s a really nice place at Xmas and they have Xmas nights that you pay bit more for but never been to one yet.
The sweet shop i love buying the sweets, & in the back they show you how the boiled sweets are made, i use to made boiled sweets in london when i lived there sweets like cola pips, rhubarb & custard, cough candy, chocolate eclairs
I've been once with my late husband and then again with him and his mum each time it rained and was cold even though it was August bank holiday but it added to the character of the place hopefully will go back some day
1950 area hasnt long been opened it opened last yr but there still building around it It was only 1950s shops available when we went last yr, the houses wasnt finished
One of our favourite places!! I’ve been going my whole life and still find new things to see when I visit 😆 It’s incredible at Christmas, definitely recommend visiting again during the festive season!
I go to beamish at Christmas time and it has been something I’ve done for years, going with my dad. It’s dressed up like a Victorian Christmas and it puts you straight into a Christmassy mood! Definately recommend you guys head there for the Christmas at beamish event :)
The Beamish museum looked so interesting, love that kind of thing 😊, a bit of nostalgia. Had to laugh when Nick said it's like being in my nana's bedroom 🤣. We are considering visiting as we have a weekend in Durham during the summer x
@@TheLodgeGuys I realy enjoyed the beamish u went to I’m in my sixty’s so the fifty sixty’s houses was a lot of thing I remember must go there one day .
If you liked Beamish, try the Black Country museum in Dudley where they did a lot of Peaky Blinders filming.. brilliant place and similar to Beamish xx
Guys you should of bought the bread its homemade in the bakery & got some old fashion sweets , glad you had a fab time, the winter months they do a few markets stalls in the 1940s town near the masons building farm shops with farm jams, chutneys, cheeses there delish 👌
We were born in the 70s, our son was born in 2000s so the equivalent museum for him would be a mid-80s village! And finally, we know what Gaz Kershaw does for a living 😂
My hubby was the “coal monitor” when he was a child at the juniors school in the early 1950’s, he had to fetch the coal in for the fire in the classroom everyday, the good old days 😹😹
Omg i wld love to see there with all the old houses etc nick was showing the wooden go cart thing we made them and it was called a gider in belfast we went down a steep hill and crashed into a pavement and i broke my arm 😂 even the talk of nicks grannys soap drawer brought back amazing memories ❤❤ so glad yous do these trips 👏
The smiles on your faces while going through the 1950s houses. It just makes me think you are remembering all those great times with your Nanas.❤❤
What a great place to visit the Beamish museum, I love to go back in time and like museums and the streets and shops, thanks for sharing, hope you had a great time,👍
Yes, that grey round thing on the bed was a hot water bottle (used to warm beds) for houses without central heating, like ours was. We had 2 of them.

Seeing those houses with front gardens that's rare these days all front gardens are now drives.

I really loved this vlog beamish has to be somewhere we visit very soon brings all the memories of childhood back thanks guys 🤓xx
Excellent vlog. Lots of memories rekindled from your trip to Beamish Museum.
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi guys yes it is a real mine Mahogany Drift Mine was opened in about 1855 and later reopened in 1921, and is part of the museum's 1900s Colliery,
“ he make a bloody show of me! He still got tickle tackle” 😂😂 best film ever 😂
We love Beamish - pleased you did too x
👍
‘The War Below’ on Netflix had lots of filming at Beamish. Mostly the first few scenes in the 1900 town and pit.
Spit and Sawdust
I'm from the Midlands 10 minutes away from the black country museum you would love it
Seeing your posts about Portmeirion in Wales, you should go to Plas Newydd, Bodnant garden in the summer, such a beautiful place and visit the castles in Gwynedd and Anglesey. The smallest house in Wales in Conwy too x

I was there a few years ago and there was talk of producing a 60’s street! Do you visit the 1920’s dentist’s home there?
You have to go back at Christmas. We go every Christmas as a family as we only live in Sunderland. It’s so magical. You can make your own decorations, they have a snowman and fake snow….. it’s just amazing. The 1950’s houses haven’t even been up a year yet.

I never knew this place existed!! Its amazing. Wow. Cannot wait to visit myself.
It must be 20 years since we took the kids there. It was wonderful. We took them down the pit, I remember. As you said , all those houses were new to when we visited
Looks great similar to Iron Bridge Gorge Victorian Town, near Birmingham

Is it a stone pig? There version of a hot water bottle. I work in a similar museum up in Scotland, but beamish blows it out the water
Apart from the 1950s area all of the buildings were taken down brick-by-brick and reassembled at Beamish so they would have once been used.
You didn't vlog going down the mine. I hope you didn't miss it.
The porcelain bed warmer was on the bed not a place to pee in .My mum had 1 and we all used it to warm the bed up .xo
Stephen went to the Beamish Museum when he was at school. It’s so big!
So glad you enjoyed our beamish museum.we go all the year round only live 5mins away.
Took my mum to Beamish, we loved it. We didn't get to use the year pass because Covid struck :-( x
School room looks life it was in the song from pink floyd --another brick in the wall..

there ones like beamish in northern Ireland called ulster folk and transport or the ulster American folk park if you ever do your van in northern Ireland
Back in the 60s it wasn't uncommon for vehicles to have to reverse up Garrowby Hill. Love the old AA box.
Great video as always. Just a thought, Why not pop a fold out storage box one of the material ones inside the box with the air frying. In. Would make it easier to lift it In and out of the box and save you putting a bottom on. Happy travels. 🚐

Beamish is around 19 mile away from me. So glad you enjoyed it.
You would have fun driving the long, long hills on the Trans Canada highway in BC!!!
Really great vlog again! Another place on my list! Rough old pubs in London were called “spit n sawdust” pubs, now I know why 🤔😀
These houses are a exact replica of my mother in laws house. South shields a town very like scarer on North east coast x
Enjoyed looking round Beamish always wanted to go there
I've been once with my late husband and then again with him and his mum each time it rained and was cold even though it was August bank holiday but it added to the character of the place hopefully will go back some day

Did u not go down the pit? You can do a trip down pit.
Visit at Christmas they put ice rink up and have markets.
I smiled all the way through this vlog, I dont live far from beamish and havent been for years,,its on my list next half term Ty so much for sharing x
It’s wonderful at Xmas all the old decorations and false snow you must come back then❤
That place reminds me of Greenfield Village in Michigan in the US. You should go see it when you come here.
I apsalutly loved that visit, even though from Scotland some of those council houses were like going into my grans house
My uncle works at Beamish! Highly recommend the chippy
Brilliant vlog, thank you x

You guys should get a private plate for the van with the initals TLG there are loads starting at £250 on the DVLA site
What at we’re was the house u stayed in at Orlando and was the price reasonable looking to go next year or year after .

Loved the vlog ,haven't been to beamish but I have been ro the black country museum. I think you would like that too if you haven't been
Thats the best fish & chips but you have to join queue at around 10.45am but worth the wait as its cooked in beef dripping the traditional way 👌
buggar that
If you liked this you should go to flambards village in cornwall. The victorian village is great!
The house replica is from a street called Turfside near us! You need to take the girls at Christmas - we love the Santa there x
Thought beamish was just one street , need to go here
it's brilliant
Y'all really make me want to visit the UK again. Haven't been since 1983
Enjoying the van vlog them seat belts could do with a clean
it's paint won't come off, any tips to remove pain off cloth welcome :)
Beamish looks so amazing!!

Leigh, your Janine and the girls would love Beamish, you also missed a trick by not going to the bakery
Great vlog guys ! I really enjoyed that ! God it takes me back to when I used to go and visit my gran and grandad 😂👌
Thank you for your vlogs as always ❤
Love seeing your adventures
The fish & chip shop delish & the pop 👌

Jess friend use to work there on the trams, while studying to be a doctor
Did you skip the home of the 'dentist'? Missed a treat there, pretty horrific!
