Chatterley Whitfield Heritage Centre

Chatterley Whitfield is an industrial time capsule and is widely acknowledged to be the most comprehensive surviving example of a deep mine site in England. Here at Britain's biggest remaining colliery site, which has been designated by Historic England as an Scheduled Ancient Monument. Open 1st Saturday of every month

We went to the heritage open day on Sunday we started in the waiting area where there were lots of historical items to look at with regard to the mining industry, when you look at the collection you think to yourself how did those men and boys survive in those days with the working conditions. When everyone was there exactly on time everyone had their hard hats on ready to start the tour just before we moved off these 3 miners who looked the real thing had a bit of a comedy acting just to make everyone welcome any give the tour an air of realism for what you were going to see on your tour. So we set off with our guides who had a vast wealth of knowledge to the history of the colliery and the other mines in the area, it was sad to see how the museum has changed since the closure, the most interesting part of the tour was to see the original maps of the coal fields which were mostly hand drawn there were no printers in those days i was so impressed that i became a member there and then also i have found out that the members meet on a Saturday morning once a month to do various restoration projects which i am seriously looking at doing some volunteering with this brilliant group.

Brilliant experience, great value for money and the staff were lovely. Had a wander around the beautiful house, lots to see and try and information boards in each rooms. Then had a look in the little gift shop and had a cuppa and a cake in the tea room. Definitely worth a visit; borders on a nature reserve with a lake and lots of waterbirds as well so even more worthwhile. Would definitely recommend!

Reviewed By davidwilliambarnes - Blackpool, United Kingdom

The exterior of the Station is very good looking - olde but well presented. The inside is modern and clean with good amenities. Has a café and pub and the toilets were spotless - what more could you ask for? Oh yes, the train was on time as well and the staff were pleasant.
