Beamish Museum, 2012
37 photos of early steam, industrial steam and trams at the 'Living museum of the North (of England).' It occupies a huge 300 acre site, so big that a tram and bus service runs round it. The museum attempts to recreate life and work in north eastern England in the early 1900s, with a colliery, village and town high street - all created from buildings moved to Beamish from elsewhere.
