This view is of the far end of the Lamp Room where the
miners collected their helmets and safety equipment
before going underground. The brick circle you can see
is actually the top of the original mineshaft at Caphouse!
The
Yorkshire Mining Museum opened in 1988 and was granted
'national' status in 1995. The Caphouse site has possibly
the oldest coal-mine shaft still in use in Britain today.
Before 1827 the colliery was owned by the Milnes family
and in 1917 the ownership was passed to the Lister Kaye
family.
It was then run as a company until Nationalisation in
1947. The coal at Caphouse was exhausted by 1985 and
its conversion into a museum began.
