Lady Victoria Colliery

The main entrance to the National Mining Museum on 5 September 2019. When the Lady Victoria was under construction before 1895, there was a temporary way on the right which crossed the A7 on the level behind the camera. Beyond the main gate is the winding engine house, with the pit headgear above. The building on the right topped by the tall chimney is the power station block. This incorporated the lamp room on its upper level, from which the overhead walkway provided a link with the pithead baths on the other side of the A7.
