Cwm Coke Works
1958 - 2002
"In the 1970s, the cokeworks employed 1,500 men and produced some 515,000 tonnes of coke each year. It continued to do so until 1986, when coal was privatised."

"Coke is a fuel with few impurities and a high carbon content, usually made from coal. It is the solid carbonaceous material derived from destructive distillation of low-ash, low-sulfur bituminous coal. Coke made from coal are grey, hard, and porous. While coke can be formed naturally, the commonly used form is man-made. The form known as petroleum coke, or pet coke, is derived from oil refinery coker units or other cracking processes."
Wiki
I used watercolor pencils for all the color on this page. I'm not sure I like the way they act on HP paper. It was hard to get a smooth washy look, even on small areas. Haven't used them in a long time, but I've liked using them on CP paper before , so will try that again.

“Soon after arriving, Imboden brought a geologist to Big Stone Gap. His reports convinced the steel barons that Wise County had rich beds of bituminous coal. By 1880, steel barons had purchased partial interest in more than 100,000 acres of Wise County land. Newspapers spread the word: money and power were coming to Big Stone Gap.
Bituminous Coal
Bituminous coal is soft brown coal which is not highly carbonized. This coal is burned to make coke, which works better than coal in blast furnace. In this furnace, coke supplies the heat and gases which prepare iron ore to be made into steel.
Coke
Bituminous coal which is heated in the absence of air, in ‘beehive’ ovens, breaks down into a carbon-and mineral-filled material called coke. By 1910, more than 4,000 beehive ovens were operating in Wise County.
Iron Ore
Production of iron ore began in Wise County in 1892. However, the county’s iron deposits yielded relatively little ore per ton, and by 1920 most of the iron furnaces were closed.”

The Magee Mine was in operation from 1908 until 1954 by the Westmoreland Coal Company. In 1914 Magee had the largest individual mine output in the entire Ninth Bituminous Coal District (which covered all of Fayette, Westmoreland and Allegheny Counties) with more than 700,000 tons produced that year. They employed 500 men inside the mine alone.
Today, the Magee Mine remains forgotten by most as nature takes her back.

The state of Pennsylvania is not known for volcanism. In fact, the last volcanic event in the area was approximately 201 million years ago and was associated with flood basaltsof the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province -- from the first breakup of the supercontinent of Pangaea. This rifting stopped and the Gettysburg-Newark Basin was formed as a result. No obsidian from these eruptions has been found. However, in the Pittsburgh region, steel smelting produced large amounts of anthropogenic obsidian, such as pictured above. The steel making process involves heating a mixture of iron ore, limestone and coke (distilled bituminous coal) to temperatures beyond what is needed for the natural formation of obsidian. The impurities in the melt rise to the top and are decanted off and cooled, resulting in slag. I was born and raised in the Pittsburgh area and remember watching molten slag being dumped down the banks of the Ohio River on a regular basis. The molten slag looked like lava as it flowed down the banks and lit the sky up for miles with its orange glow. The specimens pictured above were collected in the town of Baden, where due to decades of steel production, the slag is being mined for use as aggregate.
