Exciting times 🎉! Work is beginning on The Grand Cinema, Romer Parrish toy shop and A Reece Ltd electrical shop in our 1950s Town as part of our Remaking Beamish project!
The museum is recreating The Grand Cinema from Ryhope in Sunderland, where you’ll will be able to enjoy a 1950s cinema experience.
A toy shop named after the popular Romer Parrish store in Middlesbrough, and an electrical shop and repair workshop, A Reece Ltd, are also being built on The 1950s Town’s Front Street terrace.
Work is nearing completion on our 1950s semi-detached houses, police houses and office, bowling pavilion and green, and aged miners’ homes, which are due to open this summer. The cinema and shops are due to be open next year.
Thanks to money raised by National Lottery players, the Remaking Beamish project was awarded £10.9million by the National Lottery Heritage Fund in 2016.
