Nice to hear the trips are up and running again. Here is a picture I took of the cavern in 1992…

No there didn't used to be.
I hadn't been for some years and then visited with my sister and brother in law who were over from Germany - was amazed to find we had to wear a hard hat and, I think, a hi viz jacket!
to be honest i think hard hats are needed as you never know when something could break away from up above and wack you on the head...also quite a bit of netting gone up just in case...cost £16.50 for myself and grandson for the 40/45 min trip..3rd time i have done it... well worth it i think

Look like a really great place to visit!
Not sure If I have posted theses before, but possibly lost in hack.
The entrance to the tunnel before the BCLM was extant.
Conditions inside the tunnel
Exit at the other end, which you at present cannot do, though possibly in future if the Trust expands the work

Racecourse Colliery, Black Country Museum.
“It was originally the shaft of one of the Earl of Dudley's small pits, Coneygree Colliery Pit No 126, which operated between 1860 and 1902. After the pit was abandoned, all the surface landmarks were removed and the shaft itself was eventually filled in.”
