Come along, discover the 1795 New Colliery and marvel at the ‘Elsecar Great Engine’, built at the direction of Earl Fitzwilliam. The oldest steam engine still in its original location anywhere, the engine is recognised to be one of the world’s greatest monuments to the Industrial Revolution.
The New Colliery is open 7 days a week to explore throughout the year (except in severe weather). On our Open Days, you’ll be able to talk to our guides, peer down its deep mineshaft, see inside the engine
