The National Coal Mining museum is very local to myself and I have visited it a couple of times.
On this specific day, we (CCM and myself) were permitted to 'go beyond the public' and see some of the things many people don't get to see.

Here are a few of the best pics

This wooden headstock is in a farmers field (not the property of NCM) and he was hacking his bushes back right next to it.
