FIRST LOOK AT BEAMISH MUSEUM 1950s MINING AGED HOUSES!

[@edturnbull8858]

Many thanks for that walk round of one of the new exhibits at Beamish. One thing in particular caught my eye - the crocodile fire tongs sitting on the sideboard. I have the identical item sitting not two feet from me on my hearth tiles as I write these words. My crocodile used to sit on the hearth in my nana & grandad’s house in Fulwell and after they passed away it found its way to me. ‘Tis many years since I left Sunderland, but that crocodile, and a few other treasured things, are concrete links to a happy time long ago.

Love this video 😊 I can imagine a retired miner and his wife, enjoying their retirement in these cottages. X

i must have missed the miners homes . was there last week and did not see them

[@northeastnostalgic5071]

They are quite hidden away to the left of the council houses so I nearly missed them too!

Similar cottages still in use in Boldon Colliery.

enjoyed the video, but not the irritating music, so i just turned the volume down to zero.
