| First sight of 264 approaching the entrance stop |
A visit to Beamish Museum for the last running of Blackpool 147 before
its return to Blackpool.
In the main I was interested in seeing how the
museum has progressed since my last visit almost 10 years ago.
The tram I
was most interested to see was Sheffield 264 and how good it looked. It
would be nice to think that one day Sheffield 264 from Beamish and
Sheffield 264 from Crich (newly renovated), might run together in
service. One can wish and hope!
There were five trams available to ride during the day, 147, 264, 114, 196 and 16. It was also good to see more vintage shops open - the Chemist (complete with Bunsen burner), the Photographers Studio (with potted palm, background drapes and fur stole), the rear of the car showroom (showing the workshop and vintage parts department) and best of all the working Bakery and shop (I can recommend the bread, teacakes and sticky ginger cake!
