SUMMARY:A Coal Miner's Story - Snibston Colliery Tours
DESCRIPTION:Snibston Colliery is a very important historic site – a ‘Super Pit’ once turning over 1\,000\,000 tons of coal a year – with unique site buildings that cannot be seen at any other British coal mine. The tour will take you through a mine machinery display\, inside the colliery to the 1970’s Control Room\, and the Lamp Room where the miner collected his electric cap lamp and his respirator and\, if he was a Deputy\, his flame safety lamp. \nYou will then visit the miners’ favourite and least favourite rooms. The Pay Hall where he received his pay packet\, and the dreaded Medical Centre\, where the colliery Nurse reigned supreme. Once outside the guide will take you to The Cage where miners would descend the 900 feet (275 metres) into the mine\, followed by the Winding Engine House and the explosive Powder Store. \nEach tour is about 1½ hours\, and all tours start and finish at the Colliery Café.

SUMMARY:The Buildings Archaeologist – Discovering the Secrets of Britain’s Ancient Buildings
DESCRIPTION:Visit any settlement in the land and there will be ancient buildings hidden in plain sight. Behind a Victorian façade is a Tudor house. Underneath a Georgian frontage is a mediaeval cottage. What is now a modern farm may once have been a castle. We know relatively little about the ancient buildings that surround us\, yet buildings archaeology can offer us so many clues for discovering the secrets of hidden historic houses. \nThis talk\, based on the book of the same name\, will look at the ways in which ancient buildings have been studied and conserved\, the puzzling ways that some buildings became listed whereas others were overlooked\, and how we can really understand the age and development of a structure. With over a quarter of a century of field experience\, James Wright uses case studies drawn from his career to explain the fascinating\, enigmatic\, and surprising world of The Buildings Archaeologist. \n£7 per person\, pre-booking essential.

The tour will take you through a mine machinery display\, inside the colliery to the 1970’s Control Room\, and the Lamp Room where the miner collected his electric cap lamp and his respirator and\, if he was a Deputy\, his flame safety lamp. \nYou will then visit the miners’ favourite and least favourite rooms. The Pay Hall where he received his pay packet\, and the dreaded Medical Centre\, where the colliery Nurse reigned supreme. Once outside the guide will take you to The Cage where miners would descend the 900 feet (275 metres) into the mine\, followed by the Winding Engine House and the explosive Powder Store. \nEach tour is about 1½ hours\, and all tours start and finish at the Colliery Café.
