    Tips

    February 24, 2019

    The wheel itself originated at Annesley Colliery in Nottinghamshire.

    It took 3 lorries and assistance from the Territorial Army to transport its 30 foot by 19 foot 7 tonnes to Apedale.

    Keith Meeson, an ex-miner, can be thanked - he was one of the people responsible for setting up Apedale Heritage Centre and paid what sounds like a bargain £100 for the wheel.

    It was a bit more expensive to get the wheel here; a £15,000 Countryside Agency grant helped fund its restoration and placement.
