About Stanley

Known for

The Beamish Museum (the world's most celebrated open-air museum of northern life), the coalfield heritage, and a County Durham town that gave the world's greatest living museum its setting

A little history

Beamish — The Living Museum of the North — sits in the Stanley area. The extraordinary open-air museum recreates life in the North East from 1820s to 1950s with working trams, a colliery, a Georgian town and more. Stanley grew as a coal mining community.

Local tip

Beamish Museum is genuinely one of the finest museum experiences in the world — allow a full day. The town has strong local community identity. Chester-le-Street is close.
