cheeky cow saying dont go to Sunderland.
Another Day, Another Vlog 🤍🤍🤍
67 Guineas – there's 21 shillings to the pound… as you found out. I think they still sell horses in guineas, the extra shilling could be used for commission – buyer pays guineas, seller gets pounds & the agent keeps the difference.
TV guy didn't tell that they took almost as long to warm up as cool down, you had to turn on the telly way before the programme you wanted to watch started. As he did mention they weren't very reliable so there were TV repair men who'd come to your home to fix 'em. They got pretty hot & could be lethal to mess about with as they had big high voltage coils to bend the electron beam that made the picture. Most people rented, because of the cost & reliability. There were even tellies with coin slots so you could pay as you watched.
I love Beamish, we always go to the Christmas Evenings every year, its so magical x ❤
Fantastic vlog guys. My childhood, beef dripping from the butcher was used to cook chips. The fat smelt rank on 1st fry (it didn't affect taste). There are so many issues I could talk about this vlog! Great tactic Karolina, let the man go down the pit & earn the crust, whilst you bask in the sun! LOL! GIVE WOMEN THE VOTE!, & lots of chocs & love!!
My family and I absolutely love Beamish ☺️ we visit at least 10 times each year and I always notice something different each time we go. The farm is my favourite area. I’ve been going since I was a child, now I take my own child and I really hope he continues the tradition and takes his children too hopefully at some point 😊
Good video. I think everywhere you visit from now on will be boring
its is ironic that you went to the chip shop after speaking to the lady that said you should visit Berwick as the tiles in the chip shop originated in a fish and shop in berwick and where moved to beamish after a refurbishment of the berwick shop.
The Masonic Hall was taken down brick by brick, all numbered and rebuilt in beamish.Also the fish and chips are cooked in goose fat, just like the olden days.
I have been watching your streams for the last two weeks and I love them. You r such a good presenter Jay. You should be on television !!!
Thanks very much – Beamish out door museum – old memories!
I used to have a pair of the leather footie boots as a child! They used to have cork studs, 4 in front and 2 on the heel!
The ball was made of leather with an internal rubber bladder which was then inflated; this was called a case ball or ‘casie’! The money was 49’ (shillings) and 11d (old pence) or 2 pounds, 9 shillings and 11 pence! The ‘d’ came from the old name for denarius – the old Roman currency!
67 gns is 67 guineas which would be 67 pounds and 67 shillings or 70 pounds and 7 shillings in the old British money!
The HP was the ‘hire purchase’ method where you paid the money over a certain time period! The poor people used to buy expensive electrical goods using this payment method!
The fish and chips she quoted 80 quid; this must have been in old money? Today’s price £11.75 which is reasonable! A Quid is a pound and came from the expression Quid Pro Quo which is Latin for ‘something for something’!
I used to live a mile away in Kip Hill and I, ashamed to say I have only been to Beamish Museum once even though I must have passed by a couple of hundred times. Fantastic place to visit and when your grandparents said something about the past that you could never imagine it’s there in Beamish.
thxs again Jay & Karolina Davy's fish & chips looked great Hugh portion interesting place town people so nice!
maybe now they seem to be selling so much tat they can, stop exploiting zero hour contracts for the staff
£28 for a year is crazy cheap.
I live in West Yorkshire, about 12 minutes' drive from the National Coalmining Museum. I've been down twice, but being claustrophobic, didn't like it very much. The miners' lift was quite fast. I'm past that sort of activity now. The guided tours a bit over an hour. The hard hat incorporates a minor's lamp and a heavy battery in a shoulder case. There are models of women and children working there. They also used pit ponies. I think entry is still free, but you need to book. There is a cafe and gift shop.
I used to live in pit house like the dentists house, loved it great pit community
Been to Beamish about 20 times living in Middlesbrough it is not that far …
If you want to know what it was like in your nan and Grandad's day this is the best place to come
I remember taking my nan , who when we boarded a tram , said I have never been on one of these since I was 18 and I was 18 then that was 42 years ago, lol . new subscriber 😂🏴
I remember my nan and grandad telling me that they were the first ones in the street to have a colour TV and when they were watching it the people in the street where stood looking through the window 😂 lol 🏴
the pink soap may be carbolic soap which was one of the most used at the time and helped with laundry and personal cleanliness the strange smell is probably phenol i worked in a plant that refined phenol and had a strong smell like the soap.
Love having beamish on my doorstep
This is all too familiar to me because I grew up in a town called Heeley in Sheffield. I am familiar with all of the twentieth century things in Beamish. It's like stepping back into youth.
Just for your information. A dab is a piece of fish sandwiched between potato slices then battered and fried. I don't think you find them outside of the Northeast .
Excellent tour of Beamish from you guys! Also, big up to the staff for their helpful explanations – especially the tv guy comparing 1950's prices todays! Great fun all round! 👍
u need to come back for miners gala 2nd saturday in july
The bakery is 100% not from Manchester
d is old pence, but I don't think the price was pounds and pence, more likely shillings and pence.
Hi Jay and Karolina I think I enjoyed this most of all the videos you have done, and I’m only halfway through. Being an older gentleman I can remember a lot of the things on display, especially those from the 1950’s when I was a child. I did go to Beamish, probably 20 years or so ago now, and I had a great time. As you said Jay there is something for everyone to enjoy.
The word Toilet comes from the French and it means all ablutions. Washing, bathing, and make up and hair as well as what England now calls a toilet. That is why the pottery set you saw had the washing bowl and jug and a Pot for under the bed people called a guzunder because it stored under the bed for needs in the night
Nice to meet you guys again . I am Kamil from London, United Kingdom 🇬🇧 😎 😍 ✨️.
Being in my 80s and a Geordie, Beamish is just my childhood re-created. Whey man it's champion!
To do beamish properly it needs to be done over multiple days so you can spend a good amount of time in each area! They even have events on sometimes like the classic cars or tractors. So glad I live a 10min drive from Beamish as it allows me to easily spread my visits out.
Loving going bk in History..Oh, I nearly 4got,,one of my grt aunts was a suffragette…❤
