 |  | Woodhorn Colliery TodayToday, Woodhorn Colliery is a museum dedicated to the history of coalmining. The museum opened in 1989 and is housed 
in the original colliery buildings. Many original buildings have survived and they are an important monument to the 
Northumberland and national coal industry. Their rarity as typical examples of a late 19th and early 20th century 
colliery in the North East coalfield has been recognised with their legal protection as Listed Buildings and a 
Scheduled Monument.

closure, the buildings or return to the Woodhorn Colliery home page.
