One of the exhibits at Beamish is an old colliery and a terrace of Miner’s cottages. This photograph of the colliery complex was taken from the ring road round the museum.

A line of old prams at the bottom of a large grassed area. They were waiting to take part in a procession. See below.

Beamish holds special events throughout the year. The day we were there they had a Miners’ Gala parade.
