Visit to the Lancashire Mining Museum, Astley Green
Lancashire Mining Museum, Higher Green Lane, Astley, M29 7JB
Situated on the edge of Chat Moss, in an area once full of collieries, lies the picturesque village of Astley Green. In the heart of the village stands Astley Green Colliery Museum which, but for the foresight of Lancashire County Council and several leading figures within the community, would have suffered the same fate as the other collieries in the area, total demolition. It was the uniqueness of the 3,300 hp twin tandem compound steam winding engine that brought the demolition to a halt. As the result of the intervention, the museum houses Lancashire’s only surviving headgear and engine house, both of which now have scheduled monument and listed building status.
LANCASHIRE MINING MUSEUM – At Astley Green
We will meet at 1.30pm at the museum entrance
Contact our Events Organiser Kay Heppenstall if you plan to attend.
