Paid my very first ever visit recently to
Beamish and I'm already looking forward to going back again soon.
This now world famous open air museum, tells the story of life in North East England during the 1820s, 1900s & 1940s. There are so many fascinating areas and displays that there really is too much to take in during one single visit.
Luckily they offer visitors the option to purchase a Beamish Unlimited Pass, which allows you to come back as many times as you like for a whole year.
Better value still is probably to become join the Friends of Beamish and then you not only get unlimited visits for the following 12 months, but also the guide book, quarterly magazine, exclusive offers and 10% discount on anything you buy on site and that includes food.
Anyway, back to the photograph. This was shot from the upper deck of one of the many trams they have operating on site. I liked the abstract nature of the curved tracks and cobbled stones.
It also seemed an apt image to post given what is happening with ipernity. We've climbed aboard and those of us that want to go along for the ride are ready to depart, but we're not sure what's around the corner never mind where we will eventually end up.
Best advice then is to sit back, relax and enjoy the trip while it lasts!

It really is worth a visit, several visits in fact. one of the things I liked most is that many of the staff are in period costume and when they talk to visitors they do so as if you were back in that time period, talking about the master in the big house, etc..

Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing the reconstructed 1950s town that will be the centrepiece ... just hope they have a few Fifties cars on show! ;)
