The National Coal Mining museum is very local to myself and I have visited it several times.
On this specific day, we were permitted to 'go beyond the public' and see some of the things many people don't get to see.
Here are a few of the best pics

Conveyor 'wheels'
Test cart (for both line and brake testing)
Freshly renovated winches to be put into use in the new 'learning center' in the visitor mine
Back end of the drift line (drift mouth)
Drift end of the conveyor
Carts awaiting restoration
This wooden headstock is in a farmers field (not the property of NCM) and he was hacking his bushes back right next to it.
