The guys are really friendly and knowledgeable sharing there own experiences with you. The site is fascinating and fully of history not only about the site but mining In itself. This site is a real gem and it is important to ensure that it is preserved for future generations to learn about the important mining industry. I would highly recommend a visit to appreciate the staff and the site.

Lovely tour of the site Thanks for the volunteers who are so knowledgeable

Fantastic tour of the site by the wonderful volunteers who have a great deal of knowledge to share and bring everything to life with enthusiasm. Important heritage to keep alive for Stoke on Trent. Membership is £5 for a year and will contribute to the fabulous work they do.

An entire colliery near Chell in Staffordshire, fenced off and gradually deteriorating as trees grow up around it. This is a great place for photography, but more importantly, it is a piece of industrial heritage that needs to be preserved before it is too late.

Excellent museum of mining heritage with knowledgeable guides and exhibits

Alas now closed as a museum but they do have special open days throughout the year and if you get the chance it's a great place to visit and see the site while you still can.

Excellent few hours on the heritage tour of Chatterley Whitfield. Many thanks to the volunteers for taking us around and all the knowledge and information they shared with us. If you get the opportunity it's definatley worth a visit.

No longer a museum, this unique place - an incredibly well preserved collection of buildings, set in a very peaceful country park - is almost like a shrine to the thousands of men, women and children who depended on it for there livelihood and frequently gave their entire lives.

Chatterley Whitfield is a former mine/pit and museum. It is now owned by Stoke on Trent City Council, and although closed since 1993 there are an active group of volunteers who keep the site 'alive'. It is open to the public on Heritage Open Days, usually in September.

Chatterley Whitfield colliery is a beautiful place to have a walk. You can’t beat seeing the wildlife. Just keep an eye out for the white owl. 🦉

I had the great privilege to visit Chatterley Whitfield Colliery twice when I was about 11 years old. Once was a school trip, Me and my class mates went down the mine shaft. It was pretty spooky when we all turned off a headlights briefly to experience the darkness while we were travelling down in the lift. We ventured around the tunnels and i remember sneaking a small piece of coal in my pocket which I have to this day. Its sad the place had to close as i would have loved to bring my children to experience.

Great experience with very knowledgeable guides. Hope to one day see more of the buildings - especially the bath house.
