Wow, that looks like an incredible trip! I have learned about mining history here in the US, but there’s nothing like seeing a place first hand to understand what people really went through. Thanks for sharing at the Culture Swapper!

In reply to Andrew. Isn't it just Andrew! It was such a great surprise. Yep, 2 hours, door to door, from my Mum's in Newport to Twickenham or Richmond, where we used to live. We'd take the train in from there. No point in paying for parking AND the congestion charge.

My secondary school took us here, it was great! Still remember at least 15 years ago. Although I have to say you’re lucky to get to London in 2 hours, depending on where you go in London it can take 3 hours from Bristol! I suppose if the road’s clear and you’re heading to West London then you can manage it (from the Welsh border anyway).
Pwll Mawr – great place!

Have been to the pit museum in wakefield but not in Wales. Will check it out if we go nearby. Free is my favourite too 😉

In reply to Suzi Hansborough. After that, we flew to Florida and drove all over there too, in a great big American car. It was so awesome, really empowering. Poor Dad stayed home to work.
