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 poster from the 1972 strike shows an illustration of a miner hewing coal, with a robust businessman on his back. It reads ‘A miner carries A Lamp, Helmet, Snap tin, Self-Rescuer. He’ll carry no more.’
