Located on the former Pooley Hall Colliery site, the Heritage Centre provides an insight into mining history and sustainable energy generation (wind and solar) as well as rainwater re-use and conservation.
The Education Centre and combined nature and heritage trails acknowledge the legacy of the mining industry which began operating around 1846. The colliery was the first coal mine in the country to install pit head baths and was also the first to generate it's own electricity from surplus steam used to drive the winding gear.
