16 pictures from the opening of Beamish Museum's new 1950s terrace
A celebration of the new 1950s terrace – which features a cafe, chippy, hairdresser’s and replica home – is taking place throughout the half-term holiday.
Planning a visit this week? We went along on opening day (Saturday, February 19) to take a closer look at the new exhibits, which form part of the Remaking Beamish project.
