The Heritage Centre at BellinghamFamilies with young kids are specially welcome during the Heritage Centre, Bellingham. In addition to viewing the displays (where some items could be handled), they could drive the model tractor, check the tunnel out, dial up recordings by local people within the old red phone field, utilize the 'Chatterboxes' to know memories or music, count the ladybirds, perform some unique quiz, play within the old school 'room', check their skill with 'Sammy the Salmon' or try out a Reiver's helmet for size.The history of this ruggedly stunning and historic place is captured in five permanent shows addressing agriculture (including a 'reconstruction' of the Stannersburn smithy or farriery), mining, the Border Counties Railway, the Border Reivers, as well as the photography of W P Collier. /
