Heritage Open Days 2024, The Pit Pony Trail

The Pit Pony Trail

From Friday 6 September - Sunday 15 September

Learn more about pit ponies and their important role in coal mines. What were their names and what did they eat? How many hours did they work and did they get holidays? Find out more as you come and explore this tiny but treasured heritage site!

Open for all of Heritage Open Days and open for schools during the first week back after the summer holidays.

Schools wishing to book a local history workshop from 9 - 13 September 2024 (mornings), please contact Marie Harrison in the Learning Team on museumlearning@sunderland.gov.uk or call 0191 568608.
