The Museum of Lead Mining

A Partnership Approach

The Museum is fortunate in having a talented and progressive Board of Trustees, a hard working and dedicated staff and a large and willing pool of supporters, many of whom belong the Museum’s ‘Friends'. Within this dedicated group there is a great variety of skills and talents and above all an unending supply of goodwill and enthusiasm.

After the Museum closed for the season at the end of 2000, the ‘Friends’ worked tirelessly throughout the winter, removing and rebuilding partitions and walls, rerouting the lighting and wiring, moving display cases, plastering and painting.

Between November 2000 and the end of March 2001 in excess of 2000 hours were given free of charge by the ‘Friends’ to the upgrading of the Museum.

Mineral Room 2000/2001

The aim was to improve the facilities for all of our visitors and to create a more effective display of the fantastic minerals we have, by building a Mineral Room.

Museum Gift Shop 2000/2001

Our Gift Shop was also redesigned and new additional storage and shelving was installed in order that the range of items on sale could be displayed to better advantage and a wider range made available to visitors.
