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


Conveyor 'wheels'


Test cart (for both line and brake testing)


Freshly renovated winches to be put into use in the new 'learning center' in the visitor mine


Back end of the drift line (drift mouth)


Drift end of the conveyor


Carts awaiting restoration


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