Love my job #coal @ncmme.bsky.social

A very exciting project that will finally become a reality soon. Coal Lines is a collaboration with composer Andy Wright and explores Wakefield district’s coal mining heritage through drawings, maps, sounds and music. Thanks to @ncmme.bsky.social for loads of help with images and access to stories.

Eric has made a new friend at the Pony Discovery Centre! ✨❄ Why not pop in and see him this week, Wednesday to Sunday 👉 www.ncm.org.uk/

Privilege to help out with the install of a special new site-wide exhibition today… Sculptures by Barnsley-born Graham Ibbeson, including mining memorials, coal queens & celebrities with (very) surprising links to coal! More info: www.ncm.org.uk/whats-on/coa... @ncmme.bsky.social

Thank you for being there!

We're throwing it back to 1981 today with this photograph, which shows when miners from Denby Grange Colliery broke through to the Caphouse workings on 17 January. 💪🏁 This linked up the workings underground and gave another form of egress from both mines. Image: Harold White, NCMME Collection

An inspiring day in the Midlands. This morning exploring behind the scenes in the vast Coal Authority archives. Then discovering the stunning site looked after by Pleasley Pit Trust and meeting their trustees and volunteers for the first time. Brilliant.

Brilliant visit today to the fascinating Pleasley Pit. Wow! #coal

One of (many!) privileges of working at England’s last surviving deep colliery is exploring secret places, underground & on the surface. Inside this building never open to the public: machinery, electrical kit, tub rails, signage & more, & a mineshaft dating back to to 1827… @ncmme.bsky.social

Thank you everyone for such a warm welcome to @bsky.app! As our algorithm is currently showing lots of pawsome cats, we'd like you to meet Norris - our #MuseumCat - who is enjoying the snow this morning! 🌨️ #Cats #Snow

We’re pleased to have brought @ncmme.bsky.social, the National Coal Mining Museum, to BlueSky.🦋 The very last accessible deep colliery in England, we’re committed to sharing the proud story of our coalfields, whilst recognising coal’s legacy, showcasing sustainable tech & the journey to Net Zero.

Hello Bluesky friends!
