Enjoy a tour with Ronnie, one of our experienced drift mine engagers, as he explains its history, some of the ways of cutting coal out and the conditions miners worked in whilst underground. As part of our Covid-19 safety measures tours will consist of up to 8 people and we ask that everyone who would like to go underground wears a face covering, unless exempt. | Beamish Museum

In 1812, the Felling Mine Disaster killed 92 men and boys after two explosions ripped through the mine. The cause was found to be the use of a naked candle, which ignited the methane gas and coal dust.
