I can only echo Graham Culley's review. We arrived on a damp, drizzly afternoon, but it was almost 3 hours well spent. The volunteers are amazingly friendly, very knowledgeable and help you get the best of the visit. Some of the engineering there is quite staggering, especially the steam driven winding engine that raised and lowered the men and coal to the underground mines. All for free, the visit, ample car parking, refreshments and loos.

This is an excellent museum run by really friendly and knowledgeable volunteers. We had a lovely day here on father's day and were amazed by the size of the engine and engine house. Our kids (7 and 11) found it fascinating, and the lovely lady in the house spent quite a while with us talking to the kids and dressing us all up for a period photograph! Refreshments were basic but very good and cheap, and the gift shop very well priced too. This really did exceed our expectations and I would highly recommend a visit to learn about coal mining. We visit a lot of museums and this one is quite unique!

Great place. Friendly staff. Interesting to see the history of mining. Went with my 70odd year old dad and my youngest 2 kids aged 6 and 4 and we all enjoyed it as something there for us all. Good family place.

And it's free.

Fantastic place run by volunteers. Lots of old machinery including largest steam winding engine which is truly spectacular and Grade II listed head gear. Free entry. Open Tuesday & Thursday afternoons and weekends. Check Facebook/website for details. You are free to just wander around. Very cheap coffee & tea. Small railway operates. Example of miner's cottage. 15 minute film in one of the cabins. It's all slightly chaotic but great atmosphere & nice friendly people.

Love this place! The volunteers are all ex-miners and they are all very willing to tell you a story or two from back in the day. The gigantic engine that takes up the entire floor is a must-see. Highly recommended.

Also, big thank you to volunteer Stewart for sharing with us your life’s stories!

Fantastic active museum. The pit winding engine is an engineering enthusiasts dream, powered by compressed air now rather than steam. Suitable for kids (of all ages, 1 visitor was 91 today). It's run by volunteers of all ages, so friendly and informative. Lovely little cafe, next to the simulated miners house. Bear in mind it's a Charity run museum, so free to enter, so please do donate generously, bearing in mind that a fiver is nothing these days. Trains also run on certain days. It's on my doorstep and never been, I'll be back.

Interesting mining museum with its huge Headgear on show too. The engine house has a huge winding engine in it, literally fills the entire floor. Unfortunately wasn't running today when I visited.
