Our Tour Of the Big Pit National Coal Museum and it's workers.
Big Pit was originally an iron mine, driven into the side of the mountain not far from the surface due to the shallow iron deposits, the level is called Engine Pit Level and can still be seen on the bridge connecting Blaenavon and Garn Rd at 51.7724°N 3.1050°W. The Iron Workings are above the Big Pit coal workings, for some time Engine Pit Level was used as an emergency exit for Big Pit whilst it was working, now the River Arch Level is the escape route. Engine Pit Level was driven around 1810 by hand due to dynamite being invented 5 decades later, there are no known records of the iron mine. There are a few pictures online showing the interior of the Engine Level from the 1960s when miners from Big Pit explored the level, finding an old flange-less wheeled dram inside, now at a museum. There was also a known Iron Workings shaft, Engine Pit Shaft which existed, information and location of this shaft can be on Industrial Gwent.

I visited the Big Pit on the way back to Birmingham having had a weekend in Cardiff about twenty years ago. I was looking forward to it, having read and seen the pit from the outside due to my job at the time (HGV driver), but having got all the way up to Blaenavon, we found the pit was closed that day for maintenance. Two years ago I actually visited the Garden of Remembrance at Aberfan, another site I had seen before, and also the Welsh National and Universal Mining Memorial Garden at Senghenydd, but did not have the time to go back to the Big Pit. Hopefully I may do it soon.

The machine that you don't know which is top or bottom is a double ended treppanner for thin seam coal cutting.

is it free to enter ?

Very interesting. But the camera needs to be moved around MUCH more slowly, so we can actually see & appreciate what is there, rather than it just disappearing in a blur...

Could not continue watching. The sound levels were all over the place, either just about audible, but then turning up the volume made some of the sound track much too loud.

@Seanyping Жыл бұрын

Hi Alan, really sorry to hear that, I have just watched through the video and didn’t experience any audio problems, did you watch the video with headphones or speakers?

@alanjones4622 Жыл бұрын

@@Seanyping The very low volume was using the built in laptop speakers. Switching over to a Bose bluetooth connected speaker I could turn the volume up to normal audible levels but with a risk of blowing my eardrums out if a loud sound was suddenly transmitted. Not an ideal situation having to respond extremely quickly if that happened before I could turn the volume level down.
