Eggscavators Unearth Sweet Surprises at Yorkshire Mining Museum". In this delightful snapshot captured in 1990, four young adventurers proudly display their chocolate Easter eggs after a successful treasure hunt at the Yorkshire Mining Museum in Overton. Meet Neil Hartley, nine; Gary Hartley, 11; Wayne Blyth, 12; and Matthew Warren, also 12. Guided by Ernest Jones, they embarked on an exciting quest that replaced coal with delectable Easter treats. On that memorable Easter Sunday, these curious children accompanied by their parents eagerly explored the museum's historic mining grounds. Equipped with a set of clever clues to solve along the way, they skillfully navigated through tunnels and shafts like true eggscavators. Their determination paid off as each youngster triumphantly unearthed not lumps of coal but scrumptious chocolate eggs hidden within the depths of the mine. The Yorkshire Mining Museum had ingeniously transformed its educational space into an enchanting playground for both learning and fun during this festive season. By combining history with joyous celebrations like Easter egg hunts, it offered families a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in local heritage while creating lasting memories. This heartwarming photograph serves as a testament to the power of imagination and discovery that can be found within museums' walls. It captures a moment frozen in time when innocence met adventure amidst laughter and camaraderie – all fueled by the thrill of uncovering sweet treasures instead of black diamonds deep underground.
