National Coal Board Mining Review 1972 - Beamish and Kent

[@benjaminclasper9355]

The clip of beamish at the beginning is very good and interesting to see what the start of it looked like from 1972 when they first originally built it I think and the music box seen and heard at 1:18 is a symphonion 64cm model 4595 I think from what I’ve heard about the model and the music box is still in the museum today in the entrance area and it still has the same music song disc as was the one in the film which is the geisha mimosa waltz by Sidney Jones from 1896.

Fabulous

The tune on the music box does sound different though so I can’t be sure but I guess it’s most likely probably another tune played over the geisha tune. Probably some stock music from another music box I suppose.
