ELSECAR HERITAGE CENTRE once had huge fiery furnaces and a grand pumping engine that defined the skies. This Yorkshire village was built by rich aristocrats and quickly became an international centre of ironmaking and coalmining. Steam through reconstructions of Victorian ironworks, collieries, workshops and village streets on a guided tour, following in the footsteps of aristocrats and royalty.
