A short report for this post – just a glimpse of some of the exhibits you can see as part of the Power from the Past event that is currently taking place at Beamish.  I haven’t been able to venture from the Colliery but there are working displays around the Museum including logging and threshing as well as a period agricultural dealers and other activities.
