Moving away from the town, we went to the pit village, which hadn't been open when we popped in back in 2007.
Possible prototype for something I'm building for Garden Rail.
And then, moving away from the somewhat pastoral village, to the more industrial end of the site.
The rest of us nipped underground for the tour of the mine; Amy, being more sensible (and not wanting a bad back or mild concussion) stayed on the surface, getting some shots of the colliery area. The right choice, in the finish, given how many times Younger Child managed to bonk her head on the ceiling.
There was a small narrow gauge steam loco pottering around this end of the village; some of Ben's pics of it will follow in the next post.
