Dist:0.3km<br/>Located on Cross Street, viewed from the corner of White Rose Way. The museum site, refurbished in 2008, is a mixture of old and new buildings. This recently-built part of the museum faces White Rose Way. The museum records the history, heritage and culture of Caerphilly County Borough. It is built on part of the site of Elliot Colliery, which closed in 1967.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Restored horizontal twin tandem compound winding engine by Thornewill & Warham. Built as a duplex in 1891 with Cornish valve cylinders and tandem compounded in 1904 by the same company with Corliss valve HP cylinders. After many years unloved but secure, it was restored and can now be turned by an electric drive. Although there aren't many preserved engines in Wales, there are a few reminders of the once pre-eminent mining industry.
