Back in May, I was very kindly given an experience day for Beamish Museum as a birthday treat. I was over the moon as Beamish forms a very important part of my childhood and past, having lived next door to the museum for most of my formative years. View Post
Tucked away on the banks of the River Tees, near Yarm, Preston Park Museum resides in acres of park land.
I haven’t been in over 20 year but with the promise of a modern history museum, a Victorian Street and as many walking routes as you could possibly imagine, I couldn’t resist going back.
Officially opened as a museum in 1953 and rebranded in 2012, I took my Mam along to check it out.
