Did you catch Wednesday's post?? Make sure to check it out as it is the first set of photos from this day out at Beamish - The Last Day Out at Beamish pt.1.
As a quick recap, these photos were taken way back on the 7th of July on our last visit to Beamish Open Air Museum. We love going here for a walk, especially with our dog Baker because all dogs must be on leads and it means he is safe to enjoy his time out rather than being scared a dog is going to run at him. He has been attacked a few times over his short 9 years of life and so now has quite bad anxiety with dogs and strange humans (because it is the owner's fault after all), but here we can relax somewhat.
It's sad that we haven't visited recently and won't for a while but fingers crossed people start seeing sense and realizing this is a pandemic, not seasonal flu, and act according soon.
Anyway, check out the Part 1 post for more info and enjoy these photos of this gem of Northern History.
This post features photos from the short walk through the trees from the main road by Pockerley Waggonway to the 1900s Colliery and Pit Village. In the village are multiple cool places to pop into but we still stay outside for now. You can see the Engine House, Baker outside of the Mahogany Drift Mine, the Lamp Cabin, Francis Street Cottages, Pit Hill Chapel, Hetton Silver Band Hall, Pit Pony Stables and the view from the main road on our walk out.
I did mention in Part 1 that this is where it got busy, however, my photos don't back up that view... That's because I take my photos strategically and for those that do have the odd person in, I edit them out haha! Despite having so many photos from this area, we did pretty much speed walk through to get away from the crowds. An FYI if you are going to Beamish - the Pit Village and the 1900s Town are the places that most people tend to flock to!
Look at Baker's face though! That's how much we love Beamish. Here's hoping we get to return soon.
Until next time...
