Exhibition Hall and Museum
Here at the centre we aim to bring the story of Apedale alive by 'hands on' history as well as a selection of interesting displays and artifacts.
Discover this past of apedale and the local area from pre-historic times to modern day. See our Roman display, including part of a large important 1st century building revealed at nearby Holditch in 1998.
Our impressive mining artifacts collection includes a mine rescue van, a detailed model of a drift mine, pit tools, mine lamps, maps, photographs, pit disaster memorabilia. The authentic reproduction of a miners cottage evokes a fascinating insight into everyday family life in the past.
In addition the museum is pleased to host a selection of items from the Moseley Railways Trust's collection, including several industrial narrow gauge locomotives.
The museum is open every day 10:30pm to 4pm and entry is free.
