A small group from Cerberus Nuclear recently took a trip to the Black Country Living Museum, an award-winning open air museum set across 26 acres in the heart of the Black Country. They had a fantastic day exploring over 250 years of history and treating themselves to lots of chips!

The day started off with a fascinating tour of a 19th century drift mine with incredibly low ceilings and only the equivalent of candlelight to guide them through the darkness. They were given a rundown of various roles within the mine and the treacherous conditions people had to work in.

This experience left the group a bit peckish so they got themselves some world famous fish and chips and set up base in the Elephant and Castle pub located within the grounds of the museum.

Following this little pit stop, they took part in an authentic school experience. This included practising their times tables and reciting the alphabet, as well as receiving some outdated forms of punishment if they misbehaved.

They rounded off their exciting day out with a trip to Mad O'Rourkes Pie Factory, where they enjoyed even more chips and some outstanding pies! It was a very successful trip and a great opportunity for the team to spend some quality time together outside of the office.
