A while back I went to a museum about the good old North East of England. This museum is just awesome. It has different old buildings from various places in the North East, which have been taken apart brick by brick then put back together, how it was in the museum. It's a massive out door museum and you can take trams and buses to the various parts of it. You can go down a mine. It has it's own little village with a sweet shop, where they show you how they make sweets. It's just awesome.

Looks like a place a I would love to visit. I love the old furnishings and the books! Boy, that's one cluttered and messy desk.

Very interesting things to buy in the store. Did you buy something?



Is that an old car in the picture under the shop picture? Sorry to ask but I can't make out what it is.

In the last picture, the man in the street looks unhappy that you're taking his picture.

In the first few pictures the desk used to belong to a lawyer

You could buy homemade soap and trinkets in the shops XD They had a really interesting system when you pay for something. They would write what you bought and how much it was and put the note and the money in a basket thing, then it would follow some rails and end up in an office where all the money was stores. If you needed change then the change would come back the same way XD



Yeah it's an old car

I don't think I have any better pictures of it

It was in an old garage which I think is a building in the last picture

It's really nice and it felt like being back at home in some respects. The general architecture and the cobbled streets

Now if only everywhere else was that clean
