Open Wednesday to Sunday 9.45am – 4pm / December Weekends (until 22 December) 9.45am – 6.15pm
Please note that we are set to temporarily pause our iconic Underground Tours, from Sunday 29 December until April 2025, to install a brand new winding engine which allows us to take visitors 140 metres underground. The Museum will remain open with a brand-new digital immersive experience launching in January 2025.
The booklet written by Les Ellis considers the rise in coal prices, nationalisation, wages and conditions, safety and pensions. The front cover is cream and red and shows an image of colliery headgear.
