	Astley Green Colliery Museum
		In the heart of the village stands Astley Green Colliery Museum which, but for the foresight of Lancashire County Council and several leading figures within the community, would have suffered the same fate as the other collieries in the area, total demolition.
		Apart from the steam winding engine and headgear the museum houses many exhibits, not least of which is the collection of 28 colliery locomotives, the largest collection of its type in the United Kingdom.
		The coal seams at Astley Green are very deep and overlain by 100 feet of wet and unstable ground.

		The museum contained many interesting items for Group members to see and following the visit refreshments were available in a nearby pub and later at a Little Chef restaurant near Haydock.
		Fortunately, the weather was fine during the major part of the Road Run and museum visit but as people set off for home rain did eventually overtake us.
		The Group was grateful to the Parent Club Chairman, Peter Lockley, for travelling up from Rugby to be with us with his fine Vanguard Estate and also to Mike Wilks and his wife who also joined the Run with their very nice pre WW2 Standard.
