Miners heritage association visit

Date: 11th Nov 2026 @ 6:33pm

In our new Art topic, we will be making  sculptures inspired by 'Dream' which was erected on the old Sutton Manor Colliery site.Today we were visited by members of the miners heritage association to learn more about what it was like to work in a coal mine and why the coal mining heritage of St. Helens was the inspiration for the sculpture. The ex miners brought so many artefacts to share with us and answered so many questions, helping us to truly understand what life was like in the past for many people in our town.
