Big Pit


Big Pit is an old mine . You can visit this mine with a guide. To visit you need to put on your head a helmet and  a light because inside it is dark and we see nothing, and the ceiling is very low. The guides used to be miners, before the mines closed. The mine is deep. The old miners were very courageous because this job is very difficult. These people were on  a strike during one year. Formely the miners were very dirty because the coal is very dusty. Then baths were created in the mine for washing .
