The Beamish Museum

Beamish open air museum is set in over 300 acres of beautiful countryside, and vividly recreates life in the North of England in the early 1800s and 1900s. It's no ordinary museum but a living, working experience, with many different buildings clustered in settlements representing different periods of history and ways of life. There's even a fully functional tram service. Actors in period costume walk the streets and run shops and businesses. They will be most happy to talk to you about their everyday lives and concerns.
