This day was a dream made into reality for NWMAT.
The converted mobile mining museum now helps the group with its aims of preserving our mining heritage.It is recording, educating and promoting mining related memories for future generations.
The group has been going around many schools in the area to give talks and answer questions.
This was also a proud day for myself as two of my photographic images are featured on the bus.They are the coloured images on the bus shown above and below.The head gear image is also used on their facebook title page.
