Big Pit: National Coal Museum is an industrial heritage museum in Blaenavon, Torfaen, South Wales. A working coal mine from 1860 to 1980, it was opened to visitors in 1980. Photo taken with Canon 550D in December 2012.
A shot of one of the paths through the heathland restoration that is Beacon Hill reserve. The topsoil turns grey with weathering, but underneath it is orange, and this shot shows just how many mining bee mounds there are in a small area. I have never seen a site like. it. I found it astonishing that they thrive in such a frequently trampled area as a footpath that is well used by dog walkers.
I was back a few days later in heavy rain and there was no trace of any of this and the path looked more like a river. I hope the bees survived.

The former ore sampler in Murray, Utah. Located "down rail' from the former Murray ASARCO smelter site, with connections to the then Union Pacific and Rio Grande mainlines. Undergoing some sort of demolition effort at the time of the photo, it would stall shortly afterwards leaving the building still standing as a hollowed out skeleton.

The Central City/Black Hawk Historic District (formerly just the Central City Historic District) is a National Historic Landmark District that encompasses the developed areas of Central City and Black Hawk, Colorado. They are adjacent former gold mining camps in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains in Gilpin County, Colorado, United States. For a time, the area was known as the Richest Square Mile on Earth,[3] and was the largest urban area of the Colorado Territory in the 1870s.
The district was designated a National Historic Landmark on July 4, 1961, for its well-preserved early mining community architecture and history.[2][4][5]
By the middle of July 1859, between 20,000 and 30,000 people were living in and around Gregory Gulch.

Regardless of the type of raw material, its extraction always comes with an environmental cost. Most mining leaves a lasting and damaging environmental footprint. For example, during the extraction of common metals like copper, lead or zinc from the earth both metal-bearing rock, called ore, and “overburden”, the dirt and rock that covers the ore are removed. At a typical copper mine around 125 tonnes of ore are excavated to produce just one tonne of copper. The amount of earth moved is mind-boggling and mining now strips more of the Earth's surface each year than does natural erosion.

Downcast shaft at Daw Mill colliery in Warwickshire. This is the largest colliery in the UK, mining a five-metre thick section of the Warwickshire Thick seam some 750 metres below the ground. The shafts here are 558 metres and 556 metres deep. In 1982, a drift was completed and all coal is now brought out this way.
