Threlkeld Quarry & Mining Museum
A great day out in the mining museum in Threlkeld. Sir Tom will be happy to give you a ride around the quarry. You may even find Hunslet, a 50hp 0-4-0 also pulling a few carriages. At the end of July there will be a Steam Gala with many steam driven vehicles as well as extra trains. The museum also host vintage cranes some of which will be demonstrated throughout the year.
A big thank you to Threlkeld Quarry for their kind help and enthusiasm in the making of this video

Mining and Minerals in Cumbria video
Cumbria's geology and mineral wealth has attracted mining for centuries and the landscape of the Lake District gives clues to the hard work and ingenuity of the people who sought and fought for the mineral rewards. Ian Tyler collected a wealth of minerals, tools, photos and experiences about mining in Cumbria and the north of England. He has written many books and until 2012 he created and ran a museum in Keswick that displayed many of those artefacts. Unfortunately the museum has now closed but on the last day, Peter Nicholson videoed Ian who explained about some of the exhibits and Peter quickly videoed the wall displays and tools before they were sold or removed. There is another video in which Ian explains the bricks that he collected from the mines and quarries of Cumbria and the north of England. These bricks are now in Peter Nicholson's collection.
