Snibston Museum closure

[fv43576]

I am take my children to Snibston Museum this Thursday 16th July before it closed for good. I wonder what will happen to the track line, will it be preserved or clear out for house development?

The council needs to make £120m cuts by 2018 and has said that it cannot afford the museum’s £900,000-a-year running costs. It plans to close the museum on 31 July, sell the existing building to developers and create a smaller mining museum in the site’s adjoining colliery, a move that it says will save £580,000 annually.

I'm led to believe the pit head is a listed monument so can't be demolished. As for the rest quite a lot of the stock has either been neglected or restoration work stopped.
