The Astley Green Colliery Museum is a heritage museum in Astley near Tyldesley in Greater Manchester, England, operated by the Red Rose Steam Society. The site was originally a working colliery that produced coal from 1912 until its closure in 1970 and is now protected as a Scheduled Monument. The museum occupies a 15-acre (6 ha) site beside the Bridgewater Canal and contains the only surviving pit headgear and engine house on the Lancashire Coalfield.
