BRITANNIA MINE MUSEUM

What's That Thing? The Honeywagon. This is one of our most interesting pieces of machinery. This machine is called the "Honeywagon" - essentially, a toilet on wheels. In many mines, workers had to wait until the toilet came to them! Sometimes the miners would prank their co-workers by pushing the wagon down the track while it was in use. To prevent this, people started putting a chain under the wheels. From this came the phrase "Don't pull my chain"! Visit the Museum today and take a fun picture with our Honeywagon!
