Spent all day at Beamish and never realised this cottage even existed. They don't exactly advertise it when you're on site (no signposts). I would have loved to have seen this!
Probably a bit late as I've just came across this video. But, the original site is at Warden which is slightly north west of Hexham, it's on a road called Homers lane. There's also the remnants of a medieval cross base on the lane.
@@warrenwoodhouse I've walked the lane a few times. I think the site is near the northern end as you head toward Walwick Grange house, just before the "point" in the river, where it looks like an arrowhead pointing eastward (that's the best explanation I could come up with). If you do happen to visit the site, the medieval, chevron shaped fishponds are worth a look aswell (opposite Walwick Grange house).
A great addition to Beamish and lovely to see the quilting there.
Going to see this today. Cannot wait!!

I’ll have to pop along and have a look
4:30 Where exactly is the original dig site of the original cottage?

@@williammills9852 That’s what I could find but no pinpoint of the physical location, which I’m trying to find.

I think it should of been rebuilt where it used to stand ... Why build it somewhere else
Because no one wants to drive into the middle of nowhere for a cottage with no significance but it fits well in beamish
@@chezburger1781 perhaps they should put a information plate at the sight of the original cottage?
@@eliotreader8220 maybe, Beamish already has news paper articles. Maybe a little Commenrative place could be placed there
