Time for Tea & a Currant Slice

Time for tea in a Pit Village home, Beamish Open Air Museum. The Francis Street cottages came to Beamish from Hetton-le-Hole, on Wearside, and were originally built in the early 1860s by Hetton Coal Company. Six of the original row of 27 homes were moved to the museum in 1976 and rebuilt in the 1900s Pit Village.
