Welcome Hall, Ticket Office,
Cafe & Shop at Earth Centre

Earth Centre is now closed. Earth Centre closed in October 2004. Earth Centre is now in administration and is no longer open to the public.

Inside the shop and ticket office at the Earth Centre. Step out onto the balcony and look at the River Don

We stood on the balcony and looked at the River Don. It is very wide and fast. Big boats come up and down the river. We can see the  Castle View Conference Centre on the other side of the river. The coal mine used to be over the other side of the River Don.

The Welcome Hall looks like a wave or a fish. It has old telegraph poles to hold up the roof. It has old radiators inside and old floorboards on the ceiling.
