Heritage Open Days 2020: Caphouse's Screens Building

This year's Heritage Open Days is upon us, and this year, it's going virtual!
Did you know that here at the National Coal Mining Museum, we have a screens building that dates back to the early 20th century? Even our most regular visitors may not, as this area of the site is usually off limits!
Join us as we uncover the history of the screens building here at Caphouse, as well as meeting our Pit Brow Lass, Ada Clough, to find out the role that some women had at a coal mine following the Mines Act in 1842.
Discover more of the Museum's (along with a whole host of other brilliant locations from across Wakefield) hidden gems on with Wakefield Civic Society as part of their Vimeo 'showcase'
