Look inside: Picture special as Beamish Museum reveals new 1950s exhibition

Beamish Museum has launched the first building in its much-anticipated 1950s Town project; a multi-million pound development to transform the museum.

We went along to take a look inside as the first building was revealed – flick through our pictures to see what you recognise from yesteryear. It’s time for a trip down memory lane.
