About
Volunteer demonstrations operate the Steam Winding House engine and pit wheel, showing how winding machinery moved miners and coal through the shaft.
Volunteers demonstrate the winding engine that once hauled cages of workers and coal along the mine shaft. The free demonstrations run at weekends and during school holidays. The published summer-autumn offer ends on 25 October 2026.
