Firstly I believe, unless it's been taken out recently, that there was a street type area upstairs in Brewhouse Yard, Nottingham that hasn't yet been mentioned. We have in the past discussed putting facades on the walls in the working ride gallery to make it a street scene and a fairground akin to Oxford St Giles. So I'd be very interested in seeing any research on it. The whole 'living museum' concept I believe dates from the late 1970s and was imported from Scandinavia (Skansen, to be precise). So it may be worth looking at some European and Scandanavian examples as well. If really throwing the barriers out.....Diagon Alley in the Harry Potter studio tours. As it's a genuine set and people go to see it for that and what is displayed in it it may have some similarities.

The Museum of London Docklands has an indoor recreation of a mid C19th dockland street, though I'm not sure how much is recreated from evidence.

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.
