A superb facility which is a tribute to all those who worked underground in its heyday and those working hard to develop a fantastic heritage centre

Went along to see the winding engine being run, had a great day with my partner and son(6 years old). The place seems to get better every visit and is expanding, train tracks have now been laid around the site by the volunteers ready for ride alongs.

An attraction in its infancy and we'll worth supporting. Don't miss the amazing engine house with its huge engine.

This is a great place to visit check website for opening times. Free entry and free parking. Be caregul with children because this is an open site with much machinery and mining vehicles around. The wheel house is usually open and well worth climbing the steps to see. Excellent place for photographs. Museum in wheel house at the moment whilst museum building is being renovated. Combine a vist here with a visit to City airport.

This place has huge potential as a heritage centre attraction. Lots more to come over the next few years

A wonderful museum depicting the Lancashire cornfields. A headgear that can be seen for miles. The headgear is in need of urgent repair and donations welcome. The museum boasts what is probably the largest working winding engine in Europe. Well worth a visit.

This place is full of history and is run passionately by volunteers. Please support it if you can to save these historical items from the North West mining past.

Great engine and headgear. Fantastic work by volunteers many of whom involved previously in the industry. Really worth preservation. 3 teenagers enjoyed it too.

Lovely day out for the family worth a visit.
Be sure to check the website before going to be sure that it is open on the day you wish to visit as isn't open full time.
Great to speak to volunteers about the mining museum. You can find out a lot about the history of the museum whilst there
