Stepping back in time

I returned to Beamish this week with the K3 and K5. The working locomotive giving rides to visitors on the 1820s colliery line was Steam Elephant, built about ten years ago from plans dating from 1816.

The fireman's gloves

On Track



At Pockerley Manor Farm




In the Pit Vilage...a woman's work is never done



A typical backyard.. in any North of England industrial area




In a pit village bedroom - a scene which could be any time from the late 1800s through to the 1950s. I spotted a burglar alarm censor on the wall at the top of the picture, but only later when I opened it up on the computer

The first shot looks 'handy'. The bedroom shot is great, we have a similar museum called Milestones, nice if they had some outdoor stuff.

A lovely series David and contrary to some recent posts I don't mind you naming the images instead of just numbering them, it adds a bit of personality! Personal favourite? I think it is possibly the 'gloves' shot, but they are all very good.

First and last for me David. Two terrific shots

Nice shots

'...a woman's work is never done'

Is that why they are paid less?

I'll get my tin hat read for the responses

No offence meant

There is a "Milestones" Living History museum in Basingstoke but it's all indoor. They are photographer friendly and umm... it's got a bar with real beer...

Thats the one I mean, its great espcially the sweetie shop. But there isnt a lot outside, except a car park. Like to see outdoorsie things
