Do you have memories of working in coal mining or protesting pit closures?
We are hosting a personal histories session to expand our archive of mining life, and collect lived experiences to contextualise the AmberSide Collection.

Does your class know how easy life is for them? After a visit to the National Coal Mining Museum @NCMME they will learn the story of coal, how it changed our nation and give them an appreciation of why they no longer have to work underground - tinyurl.com/3rw4aadf

Year 3 had the best time @NCMME today. We had an extra long visit underground but weren’t phased and behaved brilliantly all day. They were wonderful ambassadors for our school today 🌟
