Mother's Day

Mothering Sunday at Beamish Open Air Museum, in a Pit Village home. Fresh flowers for Mum on the table, as well as fresh lavender and nightgowns. The museum’s row of pit cottages come from a street in Hetton-le-Hole. This was Francis Street and in their original setting were back to back with with another colliery row in which lived a coal mining ancestor of Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge.
