Beamish gains millions of likes for its Gen Z tour of the County Durham museum.

The shop sells traditional sweets and toys and will showcase some of the museum's collection.

A day of celebrations is planned as the County Durham open air museum opens its newest attraction.

Bill Mather, who worked in Ryhope's Grand Cinema in the 1950s, is among the first to see inside.

The disused property, which Beamish Museum used to store artefacts, has become an eyesore.

The mineworkers' cottages are based on real properties, with one adapted for community work.

Two houses from the era, as well as a police office and a bowling green, are open to the public.
