Hello and welcome...
After £1 million pounds, several years in the making, and much effort from the hard-working team, the former Bestwood Colliery is now nearing completion. Cool interactive exhibitions, fun unique workshops and an all-seeing glass elevator ride make Bestwood Winding Engine House the place to experience real mining history.
Please explore the new website, see what's going on, and find out more about the new Bestwood Winding Engine House and it's history.

140 Years in the Making
