The publisher and the service
This website is published by Pixellanternwhirl Heritage Ltd, company no. 14826371, registered office at 24 Grey Street, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 6AE, United Kingdom. Questions about these terms can be sent to [email protected].
The website provides general educational and editorial information about industrial heritage. It is not a tour operator, travel agent, booking service, landowner representative or professional safety adviser. No named museum, organisation or site is affiliated with or endorses this website merely because it is discussed or linked.
Permission, safety and current information
Nothing on this website authorises entry to land, buildings, underground spaces, machinery or restricted routes. Disused sites can contain unstable structures, contamination, asbestos, unprotected openings and other serious hazards. Do not trespass, bypass barriers, enter confined spaces or interfere with machinery. Follow local law and the instructions of responsible operators and staff.
Check official, current information for the specific visit. Conditions, route availability, equipment requirements, accessibility and opening arrangements can change. A site designation, photograph, map or third-party account is not proof that an area is open or suitable for you. Discuss individual access and assistance needs with the operator.
Editorial accuracy and sources
We aim to make our explanations useful and clear, but cannot guarantee that every statement or external resource is complete, current or free from error. General descriptions should not replace a qualified assessment, legal advice, operator instructions or your own current enquiries. Please report a suspected error with the relevant page and supporting source.
External links are supplied for context and verification. We do not control external content, availability, security, terms or privacy practices. A link does not guarantee a particular tour, price, opening time or visitor experience.
Images and interpretation
Images labelled as interpretive renders are constructed visual material. They do not document a named site, prove the condition of an artefact or provide technical instructions. Editorial prompts are not historical testimony. Do not attribute an illustrative object or invented visual setting to a museum or worker.
Acceptable use and intellectual property
You may read this site and make reasonable personal notes. Copyright and other rights in original content remain with the publisher or relevant rights holders. Statutory exceptions, including fair dealing where applicable, are not restricted by these terms. For reuse beyond those permissions, contact us and identify the material and intended use.
Do not use the website to distribute malicious code, interfere with its operation, misrepresent an affiliation or republish content in a misleading context. Do not submit confidential, unlawful or infringing material through correspondence.
The field-note tool
The contact tool creates a plain-text note locally. It does not send messages, make reservations or create a contractual relationship. You choose whether to copy, download or separately email the text. You are responsible for reviewing the contents and managing any files or clipboard copies on your device. Browser permissions and capabilities may affect the tool’s operation.
Liability and statutory rights
To the extent permitted by applicable law, we are not responsible for losses caused by reliance on general editorial information, unavailable pages, third-party services or a visitor’s unauthorised actions. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation. Your mandatory statutory rights are not affected.
Applicable law and changes
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, subject to any mandatory protections and jurisdiction rights that apply where you live. We may revise the terms as the service changes; the effective date identifies the current version. Changes do not remove rights that the law requires us to preserve.
