Workshop summary
This is your chance to 'dig deeper' at Woodhorn Museum and explore our Victorian colliery buildings. Learn about the coal industry which once fuelled the nation. Find out about the engineering which made it possible to sink the shafts deep into the ground, to provide ventilation to miners working underground and to turn the iconic pit wheels.
