"Beamish open air museum is a great day out for all the family .
they have recreated a whole village from the 1920's where you can see what it was like to live , shop and travel during this period on working trams , and buses from the period.
They also have working steam trains, a coal mine you can go under , and a school where you can see what it was like to be educated , there is also an other village from the 1800's .
I would say that if you intend to visit plan for a whole day to see all the areas , and take money with you as there are no cash machines available on the site.
many of the staff are dressed in period costumes and makes it very authentic.
