Our chairman Colin Day shows us why it was so important that miners started using hard hats rather than the traditional soft flat caps.
Visit the museum and find yourselves being taken on a historical journey back in time. Our knowledgeable guides, or handheld audio tours will take you through the working life of a South Wales miner, and the hardship that both adults and children of the time would endure.
The museum consists of both our detailed indoor "underground tour" and outdoor exhibits, which include a Blacksmith's Shop, Lamp Room and Engine House with a working, scale model steam train!
All admission charges and donations go directly towards the running and maintenance of the museum.
