My mams side of the family worked in the mines and they all ended up with all sorts of health issues and died at an early age. When I visited beamish and went down the mine for the tour I was constantly thinking of the people who worked in the mines and how horrible it must have been for them i just wanted to get out within 2 minutes of been in there
Spare a thought for the thousands of adults and children who did it for real. Bronchitis... Pneumonia... Flu...and then there's the lung real problems and the ponies... Thankfully that hell ending.
Beamish museum is a great place to visit lots to do and very interesting but going down that mine was a added bonus.
So glad they have this video!! I'm claustrophobic and couldn't go down when I went but now I still get to see it!
An amazing experience. We’ve done it a couple of times and it was well worth it.
Funny how he walked reminded me of Mr Toad ,
No wonder older miners walked with bent backs , looks a good tour though
I went today it was amazing!
Visited it in the 19.90s
