Just for your information. A dab is a piece of fish sandwiched between potato slices then battered and fried. I don't think you find them outside of the Northeast .
Excellent tour of Beamish from you guys! Also, big up to the staff for their helpful explanations – especially the tv guy comparing 1950's prices todays! Great fun all round! 👍
u need to come back for miners gala 2nd saturday in july
The bakery is 100% not from Manchester
d is old pence, but I don't think the price was pounds and pence, more likely shillings and pence.
Hi Jay and Karolina I think I enjoyed this most of all the videos you have done, and I’m only halfway through. Being an older gentleman I can remember a lot of the things on display, especially those from the 1950’s when I was a child. I did go to Beamish, probably 20 years or so ago now, and I had a great time. As you said Jay there is something for everyone to enjoy.
The word Toilet comes from the French and it means all ablutions. Washing, bathing, and make up and hair as well as what England now calls a toilet. That is why the pottery set you saw had the washing bowl and jug and a Pot for under the bed people called a guzunder because it stored under the bed for needs in the night
Nice to meet you guys again . I am Kamil from London, United Kingdom 🇬🇧 😎 😍 ✨️.
Being in my 80s and a Geordie, Beamish is just my childhood re-created. Whey man it's champion!
To do beamish properly it needs to be done over multiple days so you can spend a good amount of time in each area! They even have events on sometimes like the classic cars or tractors. So glad I live a 10min drive from Beamish as it allows me to easily spread my visits out.
Loving going bk in History..Oh, I nearly 4got,,one of my grt aunts was a suffragette…❤
beamish museum is fantastic ……..the woman in the shop chewing gum was disgraceful… please people in charge , take note ….not a good luck
some of the staff are absouloutley pathetic
I know that man from the electrical shop. He runs a hedgehog rescue in Durham, I fostered some of his hedgehogs.
When you said "woooo up the women". I died 😂
"Just don't go to Sunderland, there's nothing there" is a total lie.
You'd love Sunderland.
People are always shocked when they visit.
Can't stand people from Sunderland like that lady that try act like it's the worst place in the country.
Go move to Gateshead or Benwell if you think Sunderland is bad 😂
Sunderland is a wicked little city, beautiful as well.
I'm from Middlesbrough, it's not far from me about 26 mile away
So glad you’ve been to Beamish it’s an amazing experience absolutely brilliant (I’m from the north east and so proud )
I always buy loose leaf tea.. 🙂The “ Toilet set “ comes from the French “ Toilette “ to wash oneself,so in the days before bathrooms, you or your maid would have fresh ( ideally warm ) water brought up and poured into your/ the bowl and you would wash yourself ..it was called “ at your toilette “ and then over the years it became toilet and then toilet became the piece of equipment/ Lavatory…You really should know this.. 🤔🇬🇧
I love beamish. My father in law still works there, you passed him when you came out of the mine. In his 70s and still a miner (kind of). love the video thank you for showing the world how lucky we are up here in the north east
Are you still traveling abroad?
I spoke to one of the women who were part of the no votes for women. Apparently they were worried that the family and the whole of society would fall apart if women were no longer at home looking after the house and children. The suffragettes were marching around and getting people to join in and the men from the businesses were coming out to boo and jeer at them. It was so good. We're so lucky to have such an amazing place on our doorstep
The best museum around.
Just needs the Turkish Barber's to be authentic
WOW !!! that was a long video !!! Beamish is an amazing day out, but make sure you get there early because there is so much to see.
I live in Weardale, and I watched Spains Farm being taken down brick by brick, it took a few years to be taken down and rebuilt … but Covid came in between so that didn't help. My Daughter, her partner … and our dogs .. went to see Spains Farm when it was up and running, they rebuilt it in a really good place, up a hill overlooking the Pit village.
Lumley Castle put on Medieval Banquets in that banqueting hall, my daughter is one of the 'serving wenches', (proper name .. "Ladies of the Court") I highly recommend going to one, it is a really good night out.
look……. even
The large jug and bowl were for a face wash in the morning, the pot under the bed was a piss pot. Many families were poor and would sell or break their pots hence the saying
“haven’t got a pot to piss in”.
Great tour. I wonder if you guys end up living up here you seem to be loving it.
love this video Jay & karolina, I'm 70 and my partner, graham is 68, so took us back to years ago, especially in the electrical goods shop, old tv's etc, we remember them well lol x😊
Excellent video, I live a few miles away from Beamish and make the most of the annual ticket, its an amazing day out, come back at Christmas, its magical
Also been to Lumley Castle many times, once went to a Henry the 8th banquet, got dressed up in a Tudor dress and ate chicken legs with my hands, amazing
legend has it there were white people too, and they werent called right wing racists
I absolutely adore this period in time, its absolutely amazing.
I have visited Beamish and it absolutely blew me away, it certainly didn't disappoint.
Its an absolutely magnificent museum from the days gone by era.
Thank you for sharing
Me id live there
Was that £11.75 for one portion?
Visit Sunderland..plenty of good things to see and do..👍🏻
