Black Country Living Museum (BCLM) is reopening its popular underground mine experience.

As visitors head below ground in a recreated Black Country coal pit, they will be able to experience the darkness a miner endured, explore a maze of roadways and working areas, and learn about the world of an 1850s coal miner.

Commenting on the news, David Pitt, BCLM’s head of site conservation, transport & maintenance, said: “The whole museum is delighted to bring this experience back to our visitors. 
“It has always been a popular part of the museum, and we can’t wait to invite returning visitors to head ‘into the thick’ again, as well as introduce the experience to first-time visitors.”

'Into the Thick' reopens at Black Country Living Museum on Saturday 21 January, tickets are now on sale at bclm.com.
