NATIONAL COAL MINING MUSEUM FOR ENGLAND l WALKING TOUR

Greetings! Experience the National Coal Mining Museum, the site of two former working coal mines! Explore Caphouse, a modern colliery that has witnessed more than two hundred years of coal production. Hear stories directly from former-miners about their careers and understand the roles men, women, children, animals and machinery played in the operation of the mine. While you’re here, take a journey 140m underground on one of our Underground Tours, where you’ll hear stories from former coal miners about their careers and the industry’s fascinating history. Visit the Technology Gallery and see some of the tools of the trade to discover how miners overcame the challenges of working underground including a new permanent exhibition “A Light in the Darkness” which looks at the contribution that Sir Humphry Davy and others made in the lamp’s evolution. In the Victorian Gallery you can experience how difficult mining was in the 19th century and why they realised it wasn’t appropriate to have children working underground. Back above ground, learn about the people and communities at the heart of the industry in our galleries, meet our ponies in the Discovery Centre, take a trip around our Nature Trail, let off some steam in the adventure playground, and top it all off with a stop at the café!
