Dive into the captivating past of the region at the King Mine Historic Centre | KB3, where the story of the miners comes to life. Experience a unique journey at the heart of restored mining buildings that highlight the work of the miners. Discover the headframe and its new immersive experience, "Lights Underground." Then, continue to the forge workshop and the hoist building to understand how an old mine in the region operated. These 1939 buildings have all been restored to offer you an authentic experience. Explore the underground exhibition "Descending Through Time" for an immersion into the underground mining world, from 1980 to 1910. Whether by elevator or staircase, access the Ville de Thetford Observatory located at the very top of the headframe.
