The Heritage Centre has a changing programme of events and exhibitions centred on the permanent artefacts of the John Hyatt Collection. The collection represents the life and history of the Langwith and Whaley Thorns citizens. It reflects the impact of the sinking of a coal mine in 1876 upon a rural farming community and provides a snapshot of a period of great social upheaval. There is also a strong local photographic collection.
New for 2009, the Centre is selling Tony Warrener''s book 'The History of Langwith, Nether Langwith and Whaley Thorns', price £10.
