How did they do that?

Have you ever wondered how a building is moved, brick by brick, then rebuilt to look exactly as it did in 1913 ? Or how the interior of a period building is researched, then furnished exactly as it should be ?

Why are key architectural features numbered before being dismantled ? How do we know what colour to paint the walls ? Where does the furniture come from, and the paintings, ornaments and soft furnishings.......?

Find out how buildings are prepared for deconstruction stone by stone, so that they can be re-built at Beamish, or how the magnificent interior of the Masonic Hall was recreated just as it was in the early 1900s.
