Failed museum

Failed museum
Haig Pit at Whitehaven was sunk in 1914 and closed in 1986. The surviving buildings at the pithead were incorporated into a mining museum but this closed in 2016 and the site present. The visitor centre was at one time being used by West Cumbria Mining as offices for their new mine project but is now empty.

Sadly, I think something "strange" was going on with the background situation at the Haig Pit Museum, but I haven't been able to find out exactly what !
[there are plenty of rumours, of course !]
