The main entrance to the National Mining Museum on 5 September 2019. When the Lady Victoria was under construction before 1895, there was a temporary way on the right, before crossing the A7 on the level behind the camera. Beyond the red gate is the winding engine house, with the pit headgear above. The building topped by the tall chimney on the right is the power station block. This also incorporated the lamp room on its upper level, from which the covered overhead walkway provided a link with the pithead baths on the other side of the A7.
