Not long after leaving University, me, Amy, and her Dad called in at Beamish on the way back from collecting some of my work from an exhibition in Newcastle. It was Autumn, half the museum was shut, and it was utterly belting down, and we only had a few hours there. Still, we said we'd come back at some point soon.
A mere 16 years later, here we are. More of the museum was open this time, though the weather was just as wet and miserable as on our first visit.
What it did provide was opportunity to get some pics in the recreated older bits of the town, and some shots of the sorts of places I grew up in around the industrial midlands, which were disappearing when I was a little kid before I had my own camera.
The manky weather did suit greyscale a little better than colour.
The town was actually quite busy, it took some effort to get shots without people in, but I was mainly interested in reference pics for model-making purposes with the detail shots.
