Did you know the farm was carefully dismantled stone by stone from Eastgate, near Stanhope in Weardale, and rebuilt at the museum as our 1950s Farm... here's a timelapse of the reconstruction!

An impressive 1,170 tonnes of stone and timber was moved to the museum after the Jopling family very kindly donated the farm to Beamish.
Spain's Field Farm is initially open on weekends only to allow for the ongoing construction of our 1950s Town.

Thanks to money raised by National Lottery players, the Remaking Beamish project was awarded £10.9million by National Lottery Heritage Fund in 2016.
