About
Explore the colliery buildings, learn more about how the site operated and find out more about the daily dangers miners faced.
We're always interested in hearing your stories too, so come along and share your own knowledge about our coalmining past.
Although not all of the heritage buildings included in this tour are fully accessible, our staff will adapt the tour so that everyone taking part can discover more about our industrial heritage. Please let the staff leading the tour know how they can help.
This tour takes place in heritage colliery buildings and although it is suitable for children and adults, we do ask that visitors take care and that children are supervised at all times.
Access to the winding gear demonstration part of this tour involves climbing steep stairs. We apologise for any inconvenience this causes, and those unable to climb the stairs are welcome to observe the winding gear from the lower level of the winding house.
