Our Level 2 Carpentry and Joinery students have collaborated with Beamish Museum, helping to preserve North East heritage.

As part of their studies, our Carpentry and Joinery students have designed and created window replacements for the signal box at Rowley Station, located at Beamish Museum 🛠️

The students also had the opportunity to visit the museum and assist with fitting the finished windows. Seeing their craftsmanship on display at such an iconic heritage site was a proud moment, giving them the chance to apply the skills they have developed in the classroom to a real-world restoration project 👏

A huge thank you to Beamish Museum for giving our students the opportunity to be part of such a meaningful project.
