Beamish Museum has revealed its upcoming additions to its 1950s Town - including the recreation of The Grand cinema in Sunderland and a traditional toy shop.
The popular museum opened its 1950s Front Street to the public in February this year featuring a decadent 1950s café, fish and chip shop, hairdressers, and a recreation of the home of North East artist Norman Cornish. And while it's gone down a storm with visitors, Beamish isn't stopping there and will be welcoming new additions.
As part of the museum's Remaking Beamish project, it is continuing its work on its 1950s Town on the opposite side of Front Street. On this side, it will feature the recreation of The Grand cinema, from Ryhope in Sunderland, A Reece Ltd electrical shop, and Romer Parrish toy shop which is due to be completed by the end of 2023.
