beamish. Use the adjective beamish when you describe someone who is smiling and cheerful. Beamish dates from the 1500's, from the verb beam, "to smile radiantly." Lewis Carroll may have thought he invented the word in his poem "Jabberwocky," which is full of made-up words, but beamish is real, if uncommon.
And this is what Beamish is all about: the North of England in 1913, authentically re-created from one of the largest collections in the island. The double-decker trams, with their overhead electric wires, are all period antiques from northern English cities.
