National Coal Mining Museum, Wakefield
The principal attraction is, of course, going down in the Caphouse mine itself, 140m underground to the main seam, although the guided tour nowadays does not take you more than about a hundred metres from the lift shaft (at my first visit in 1991 it went further, and visitors walked back up the drift road). There are also two specially constructed museum galleries, and outdoor exhibits of mining plant, locomotives and so on. Several former operational buildings at Hope Pit are open to visitors.
