When we arrived, we noticed there was a new display. It was very interesting to look at.
Straight away, we were off to the 1900's Town for a cup of their amazing cappuccino in the tea rooms, situated off of the park.
After our much needed coffee, we waited for the tram or bus (whichever arrived first) to go on to the Pitt Village for fish and chips.
Over the road from the Pitt Village, was the 1940s Home Farm. I imagine during the warmer months, all the animals are out and there would be more to see. All the more reason to go back in the summer!
There were cows however in a lovely warm barn.
There was an old outhouse too... Not in use mind you!
And stables, still in use for this fellow and his friend!
Though the majority of the animals were tucked away from the cold harsh wind, there was still plenty to see. Like this blacksmiths workshop.
And all the equipment used to maintain the farm.
The farmhouse itself was very simple; inside and out.
You forget how close everything is to one another at Beamish!
Realising we needed to go back to the Town for lunch, we hopped on a tram and went straight to the tea room. The sausage casserole was scrumptious!
With still most of the afternoon to go, we decided to investigate 1820s Pockerley Old Hall.
It was a very pretty hall, much smaller than I initially thought and the gardens and surrounding countryside were very picturesque.
It was amazing to see how people lived centuries ago. Life must have been so simple and with limited technology, they managed with what tools and materials they had.
I also made a new friend!
And there was a potting shed!
Soon, it was time to leave so off we went to wait for the tram.
Mmm tea!
See you in the warmer months Beamish!
