An entire colliery near Chell in Staffordshire, fenced off and gradually deteriorating as trees grow up around it. This is a great place for photography, but more importantly, it is a piece of industrial heritage that needs to be preserved before it is too late.
Originally a working colliery and then a mining museum, this place is a preserved relic of one of Stoke on Trent's backbone industries.Sadly no longer open regularly to the public, I visited on a Heritage Open Day. It's an amazing place to be guided around and you get a real sense of the place when it was working.If it's not open, please don't try and gain access to explore.
Amazing local history well worth the visit
No longer a museum, this unique place - an incredibly well preserved collection of buildings, set in a very peaceful country park - is almost like a shrine to the thousands of men, women and children who depended on it for there livelihood and frequently gave their entire lives.
Grew up visiting and going down the mine as a visitor. Have tried a number of times to get on a tour but places always seem to have gone before we see it advertised. From the top of the hill looking down at the site it's looks fantastic. It's a shame that it's not possible to walk around the buildings more often. The parkland created around the area is well worth a walk and had had some great paths put in. You can walk many different routes. Here's hoping to get on to a tour this year!
