The National Mining Museum Scotland is based at the Lady Victoria Colliery in Newtongrange, Midlothian. The colliery opened in 1895 as a 'superpit' and closed in 1981.
The colliery is category A listed: LB14604
"The Lothian Coal Company Ltd was formed in March 1890 by the combination of Newbattle and Rosewell Collieries with the aim of building a showpiece pit. The Lady Victoria had a 1650' deep winding shaft to the Jewel Seam and was among the first in Scotland to be extensively equipped with electric plant. Steel pit props (from 1911-19) and mechanised mining were early innovations."

2011 © David White Photography. Please do not use without permission. Visited the National Mining Museum at Wakefield with grandchildren today. An excellent day out and free! TCaphouse Colliery was a working drift mine. It closed in 1985 and opened as the Yorkshire Mining Museum in 1988 and as the National Mining museum in 1995. Visitors are able to descend 140 metres, wear helmets and carry lamps in order to see how mines operated from the late 1700s to the present day. See www.ncm.org.uk/. Unfortunately, but for reasons of safety, photos cannot be taken underground!
