Beamish - Pit Head Machinery

Beamish is a great place for a day trip - it's a working museum and concentrates on social history - working and housing conditions of not too long ago - near to Durham in the North of England.

Here is the actual pit head machinery that once was used in a coal mine - a fascinating place to wonder around.
