National Coal Mining Museum

The National Coal Mining Museum for England is located at Caphouse Colliery Wakefield, where mining has been carried out for centuries.

With the unique opportunity to film 140 meters underground, travelling in a cage of which it is one of the remaining few, there are many unique features across the site from machinery, to tunnels, drift, pithead baths, screens building, pit wheel and more.
