Washington ‘F’ Pit is a chance to step back in time and explore the region’s coalmining heritage.
The Pit, which was sunk in 1777, brings mining to life for today’s residents of the North East.
Visitors can see the impressive winding engine which once took pitmen to the coalface and brought coal to the surface, now operated by an electric motor.
