I am unsure I would quite describe it how you have though beccabear67 (even though it has Parks), it is good but not sure I would pay at the gate for it as my visit was part of a Tour with Price included in the Holiday/Tour Price

Beamish first was opened back in 1970 apparently. It was awarded museum of the year status in 1986.
There are some excellent videos made by people visiting the new '50s areas. I saw a tour of the shops, and another by the same lady of four of the houses... saw lots of things in those that reminded me of things in my grandparents' home!

I haven't been to Beamish myself (or at least I don't remember going there), but I know that my sister went there in around the mid to late 1980s.

I think the 1950s part has been built since I last visited, the newest looking houses looked 1920s at the latest.

I go a few times a year being local to it. The 1950s town is excellent, a lot of the exhibits in the houses look very familiar to someone brought up in the 70s as my parents and grandparents had the same things. The 50s town isn't quite complete yet so there's more to come.

They've opened a 1950s town area since then I think. In nice weather they're probably busier. I think the Emmerdale set must be not so far off either (maybe see the real star, Minty the lamb?).
