Hi Bill,
I believe the Castle Museum in York have a recreated town street or they certainly always used to. We at Beamish are always happy to help if we can!
Cheers,
Emma

Dear SHCG,
I am doing some research –as a prelude to a piece of writing based on my PhD- into ‘street museums’. I have some knowledge/information on well-known sites like Kirkgate (York), Abbey Fold (Leeds), Lark Hill Place (Salford), but am interested in where there are/were other early examples. For instance, there was a street here at Oldham for a number of years and I believe there were some recreated shops built in Doncaster Museum in the 1960s, but could use more information. I am particularly interested in indoor recreations although, obviously, sites like Beamish, Black Country Museum Blists Hill etc. fit into the picture as do things like the Flambards and the Toad Lane co-operative shop. Any information, leads or contacts would be greatly appreciated.
Bill Longshaw
