Please note that we have temporarily paused our iconic Underground Tours until April 2025, to install a brand new winding engine. The Museum remains open with a brand-new Time Tunnel experience now bookable. Underground Tours can now be booked and will be back on 2 April 2025.
This leather horse collar was worn by pit ponies when hauling tubs underground. The leather collar was stuffed with straw and had cloth sections underneath as padding.
