There are different areas which include the town, colliery, pit village, 1940s farm and waggonway. Each area of the museum preserves a different period of time, and work is beginning on a 1950s area too. There are so many things to see and do there, and so many things have been preserved as a part of the work carried out by the museum. They often buy buildings from other locations and then re-build them brick by brick on the museum site! One of the latest additions is the fish and chip shop – and what an addition! They were probably the best fish and chips I’ve ever tasted! I took so many photos, but here is a selection of my favourites:

Tickets cost £18 for adults, £10 for 5-16 year olds and under fives go free (you can save money if you go by bus like we did). This might seem like a lot but they are valid for a year, and it’s difficult to cover everything really well in a day anyway. We’re hoping to go back and visit the Christmas markets there, so stay tuned!
