The stories of Snibston have come to life in a new audio tour at Leicestershire’s Discovery Museum.

Visitors can now listen to tales of the old Snibston colliery, life in Coalville and the creation of Snibston Discovery Museum. Visitors can borrow an audio player and listen to nine tracks, as they make their way around the museum and the country park and nature reserve outside.

Topics include:

Leicestershire County Council, commissioned Leicester-based artists Watch This Space to produce the tracks.

Staff from Snibston, Leicestershire County Council and Watch This Space
