Astley Green Colliery Museum
Astley Green Colliery Museum, Higher Green Lane, Astley Green, Manchester, Lancashire, M29 7JB.
The museum occupies some fifteen acres of the Astley Green Colliery site. The low-lying landscape ensures that the museum's 98ft high lattice steel headgear can be seen for many miles, a fitting memorial to days now past.
Apart from the steam winding engine and headgear the museum houses many exhibits,including the collection of 28 colliery locomotives, the largest collection of its type in the United Kingdom.
