We've just put some of the finishing touches to our new extension to our cottage display, an "outside" toilet and coalhouse. It's really looking the part now.

About

Discover the lost industrial heritage of the Apedale Valley and the history of the surrounding area when you visit this unique attraction. We are located in North Staffordshire's Apedale Community Country Park in an area that was once an industrial powerhouse.

At weekends and Bank Holidays we offer tours of an authentic drift mine. And visit our museum to learn about the local industries and history.

The café is open every day so even if you are just passing you can drop in for a cuppa or to try some North Staffordshire Oatcakes, a speciality of the Potteries.

Ride the Apedale Valley Light Railway which has just been opened by our colleagues from the Moseley Railway Trust. This light industrial railway will be open until the end of it's 2010 season in October. Trains are running weekly on Saturdays with a monthly steam weekend.

Volunteering

If you are interested in helping out at either the centre or the Moseley Railway Trust then please drop us a line via the website. Alternatively, feel free to drop in one weekend for a chat. All you need is enthusiasm and a bit of spare time!
