Also in this area is a mock up of a coalmine, which shows what conditions were like for those working underground. Now for those of you who are claustrophobic or afraid of the dark, don't even think about this part. You don't really appreciate how dark it is underground until the door slams shut and there is no light other than the solitary guide's torch. If you can, overcome any fear you may have, this is a part of the attraction which is possibly the most interesting.

The attraction also has a number of other exhibits dotted around the site such as the Vulcan boat and a steam train.

It also has part of the old canal running through its grounds and extensive play and amenity areas.

You can easily spend a morning here and after you have finished you could travel the short distance to the Ice Capsule, which is a large civic amenity consisting of ice rink, swimming pool, sauna and squash courts.

You see, Coatbridge is indeed a tourist attraction.
