Edwardian Motor Showroom

Photobucket



The highlight of any trip to the Beamish Open Air Museum for me is the wonderful Motor Garage in the 1913 town, a wonderful recreation of a period garage, complete with showroom with motor cars and motorcycles, and a workshop at the rear to purchase accessories, spare parts, and also for repairs to be undertaken. This set of images shows the showroom, containing a 1906 Armstrong Whitworth Tourer, 1913 Renault Tourer and a 1913 Ford Model T as well as several motorcycles. Unfortunately the glass makes photographs taken from the outside difficult, so no photographs showing the Armstrong Whitworth or the Renault at the moment, so I hope these will suffice for a while
