Summerlee miners' cottages

Two rows of little cottages, decorated to reflect different periods of when miming was active in Lanarkshire, sit within Summerlee heritage museum.

It was interesting to see the increase in consumer luxuries throughout the different decades.

Nearby is a reproduced adit mine which uses a sloping track for access rather than the usual shaft.

Summerlee Vehicle Show

Imagine going to a vintage car display and finding lots of cars that I can remember from when they were new.

Once I got over the shock, I enjoyed looking at these cars as the exhibitors intended.

 The rain tried its best to get in the way of an enjoyable afternoon, but I'm pleased to say it didn't succeed.
