Billingham Bowling Club’s Green and Pavilion at Beamish 1950's Town

Beamish is celebrating a £10.9million grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund for the Remaking Beamish project.

The funding is a major milestone in Beamish’s history and it will help the museum create a range of new ways for people to experience the heritage of the North East. It is the largest single investment ever seen at Beamish.

The centrepiece will be a reconstructed 1950s Town – meaning that alongside existing attractions depicting life in the early 19th and 20th centuries, the museum will once again include a period within living memory.
