Hi Karen. Thanks for sharing this. I loved it, right up my street (no pun intended). You are both looking well xx

[@alisonjenkins7539]

Karen it was so lovely to see Beamish again. I last went three years ago. I was born in Whitley Bay but left when I was eighteen months old returning and living in Jesmond for a couple of years in 1963/64. Still visit my brother in Whitley Bay and just love Beamish so thank you so much for taking us with you. X

[@carolschobs2621]

How lovely of you to share this Karen, my parents went some years ago and loved it. My Dad was born in Sunderland so many memories for him. So nice to see you and Warren enjoying a lovely day out. That’s some decorative toilet in the bathroom. My doll had to go to hospital as her head was broken. I hope you return sometime I would love to watch more of this wonderful museum. Thanks to you both x😊

[@Susancb56]

[@berylmullen6686]

Thank you, Karen, I found it very interesting. We are looking to visit this Summer, it's made me want to visit all the more. ❤ xx

[@lorrainechristison2818]

Thanks for sharing your day out to Beamish Karen I like you remember childhood items from those eras brought back memories great vlog

[@sandra-bb5xq]

Thank you for the tour, I’ve not been to Beamish since 1980s there’s certainly a lot more to see and do. when I visited the 1st building you entered was the farm kitchen and farm buildings, the pit village, the mine and the old shops and I seem to remember the dentist and the row of terraced houses also the railway (a friend of mine worked on the restoration of that). Loved the biscuits cabinets when I was young and went to the co-op for the groceries, loose butter, bacon, ham, cheese, sugar in blue bags, saving up the dividend for a treat at Christmas. We had the stone hot water bottles, repurposed ginger beer bottles from either Fentimans or Wood and Watson pop factories. I remember a dolls hospital in Sunderland, one of my china dolls was repaired there. Happy memories of my childhood in the 1950/60s 🫶

[@pamelawright1369]

Karen than you for such an interesting video, hope you and Warren are well.😊

[@shirleycasey6929]

That was wonderful Karen. Have meant to visit but just never got there. So much I remember. I'm only 69 but there was so much. As you say the record player. I was married in 1975 and I had a drop down kitchen unit thing. Painted orange, I loved it.😂 Lovely to see you and Warren out and about. Take care X❤

[@lyndab2068]

Hi Karen, what a great day out & I really enjoyed your filming showing some of the ‘feel’ of the place. It’s vast isn’t it? I have been once before about 20 years ago & like you only managed to see a section of it….would love to go back. Lovely to see you & Warren out on that beautiful but cold sunny day….great for the spirits! Take care, keep warm & we’ll see you soon 😊🌻

[@bronwenpayne2036]

Hi Karen, what a great day out you had at Beamish. I haven't visited for years and there are obviously many new attractions. The dentist's house you went into came from Ravensworth Terrace. Lovely to see you & Warren having a day out.

[@franwalker9437]

Thanks for taking us Karen, so interesting. I live in the East Midlands and think the nearest place like that for me would be the Black Country museum. Really enjoyable video, full of nostalgia ❤

[@TheYorkshirelady]

Thanks Karen, great tour round Beamish. I’ve been meaning to go for a visit for years but never seem to make it. Definitely going next time I’m up North, it looked like a lovely day too, weatherwise I mean. I guess the best time to go would be in the colder weather, not as crowded as Summer time. I’m going to take a look at your other videos on York etc. so, thanks again and take care, bye for now, Sandra.❤

[@joandwyer5055]

Great video Karen. We have similar in Bunratt y folk Park in Ireland. Love all the old items brings back childhood memories ❤

[@cats_crochet_crystals]

Hi Karen, I really enjoyed this video. I went to Beamish about 20 years ago and a lot has changed since then. I was born in 59 and I remember going shopping with my mum must have been mid 60’s and Sainsbury’s had two three counters which were shaped a bit like a horseshoe and sawdust on the floor and a lovely cheese cutter was amazing. Oh and one of my dolls went to a dolls hospital Denise

[@margothartwell6195]

Went to Beamish in about 1988, we (my husband, mum and our young son) had been visiting relatives in Ashington with my mum. We took my Aunt Thelma and Roy and I had our photos taken dressed in Victorian clothes, it was in sepia and I think it is one of the nicest photos of us we have ever had taken. Brought back lovely memories of that trip. My mum and aunt are no longer with us.♥️

[@angelan57]

Hi Karen loved the video, very interesting. Ive seen Beamish on tv etc but never been,didn't realise it was so big. Brought back lots of memories, so thanks for taking us with you x

[@frenchpoppy6531]

Loved the video, great to see you both out & about❤❤❤

[@paulinedixon3490]

I love Beamish Karen. Going into the house on the farm was like stepping back into my Mams house when I was a bairn. I could have sat there listening to the old music all day. Wonderful memories. Anyone who hasn’t been should really try to go It’s a fantastic day out ❤👍

[@sevenjane1]

Wonderful museum, we've visited several times (from the midlands) and you've still shown things I havent seen!

[@essanjay8604]

Visited there some years ago and loved it. In my area we have a similar Black Country Museum which is also great.

[@KimHolden-r7t]

Lovely day out for you an Warren we have something like that here in the midlands it's called the black country museum 😊

[@maureenlowther7621]

Hi Karen, what a fascinating place Beamish is wish we had one near us. Apothecary is all the rage now a lot of the things are being invented in a modern way like that cooker a bit like a modern aga with the two ovens side by side my grandson wants one similar to that when he moves because he loves cooking and having friends round for meals, his fiancé loves for him to do the cooking😀😀

[@lindakirk698]

Oo lovely thank you.. Always wanted to go there with our kids but it was so far away from us. It would be a 3 or 4 day stopover to see it all before we came home! They have done something similar in Birmingham - Black Country Museum. Yes I remember the Downton Abbey locations. Yes I remember a lot of all those old products and interiors. Makes me feel even older when I looked at those😂 Some i don't know as I came from the "privileged south" as my hubby calls it. No outside washouse/bath/loo etc for me even though im nearly 74!!!

[@BusyBeeMaree]

❤I would love to take the grandchildren there❤

[@GeordieGrandma]

Put it on your bucket list :-) xx

[@janewaring2913]

Thankyou for showing us around. I’d love to go there but being in South Oxfordshire it would be a bit of a trek 😀 It brought back a lot of memories from my childhood. I remember those stone hot water bottles. I used to have one in my bed 😩

[@GeordieGrandma]

I didn't have a stone water bottle but I do remember a pink rubbery one :-)

[@crsmcrdo]

Very interesting, we have something similar in Denmark, called the old town of Aarhus ( den gamle by i Århus) also a living a museum with people working dressed up in authentic clothes.. I especially love to visit it around Christmas ...

[@GeordieGrandma]

I've never been to Denmark but it's somewhere I'd love to visit! x

[@judithperkins9679]

Thanks for sharing Karen.Would love to visit but quite a distance for me from Wales.Lovely to see Warren well enough to enjoy a day out.Take care❤️x

[@christineward7146]

Hi Karen, Thanks for taking us with you. That was fabulous. It's a bit too far for us for a day out, but if we're that way on holiday sometime I'll make a point of going ❤

[@jennyrigby3475]

Thank you for taking us with you I so enjoyed it. I went there when my children were young when we visited it while we were on holiday. All the best for 2025 to you and your husband lovely to see him with you xx

[@ruthwinnifred329]

😊💞🧡💚

[@karenporteous3626]

Really interesting video Karen. I definitely had one of those record players too. Recognised a lot of other stuff as well. I would love to visit. How wheelchair accessible would you say it was ?

[@GeordieGrandma]

Hi Karen - I think there's a few areas that would be difficult for a wheelchair but still lots that you could access. They have a lot of info on their site about accessibility so it would be worth having a look there xx

[@angelenaboden]

Hi Karen my grandparents lived in stanley co durham. Ive been to beamish several times when we teavelled up from Shropshire to tend to mums grave. Love the north east and geordieland. Take care xx .
