Manda Pit is a place where you can learn about the workings of a coal mine just by looking at the buildings.
The shaft tower, hoisting machine room, and coal mine train each appear to be separate facilities, but they are actually part of a larger system for digging, transporting, and supporting coal.
Walking through this industrial heritage also means understanding the connection between technology and human labor.
