For many years, coal mining was the chief industry in Midlothian. When I was a child, there were two mines in my small town alone. They were closed in the early sixties and another was sunk. It became a focus of unrest during the miners' strike of 1984 and was closed in 1988, a victim of the widespread pit closures.
There is no mining industry in Midlothian now, apart from unpopular opencast mines, but the Scottish Mining Museum, on the site of the Lady Victoria Colliery, Newtongrange, does an excellent job of preserving Midlothian's mining heritage.

Mine tokens or pit checks were issued to record the number of miners underground. Each miner would take the pit check with his allocated number from the board at the start of his shift and put it back when he returned to the surface. This board gave a quick and straightforward indication of which miners were underground.
The circular brass pit check or tally is embossed with"NATIONAL COAL BOARD/ COMRIE" and is stamped with the number "89". There is also a hole for the miner to attach it to a piece of string.

Despite temperatures being slightly above zero degrees Celsius, the heat rising from the bottom of the Lovozero mine (-600m deep) allows succulent plants to grow easily by the main well. 470 miners still work day and night shifts here to extract titanium, niobium and tantalum7 The mine is located in the middle of the tundra in the Murmansk region in Russia.

Pyramiden (Danish, Norwegian and Swedish meaning "the pyramid", Russian: ŠŠøŃŠ°Š¼ŠøŠ“Š°, piramida) was a Russian settlement and coal mining community on the archipelago of Svalbard, Norway. It was founded by Sweden in 1910, and sold to the Soviet Union in 1927.
It lies at the foot of the Billefjorden on the island of Spitsbergen, and is named for the pyramid-shaped mountain adjacent to the town. The settlement once had a population of over 1,000 inhabitants, but was abandoned on the 10th of January, 1998 by its owner, the state-owned Russian company Arctikugol Trust. It is now a ghost town. Within the buildings things remain exactly as they were when the settlement was abandoned in a hurry.
There are no restrictions on visiting Pyramiden. However, visitors may not enter any buildings without permission, even if the doors are open, due to the health and safety hazards involved. Most buildings are now locked. Pyramiden is accessible by boat or snowmobile. Guided tours are available in Russian, Norwegian, and English.
The nearest settlements are Svalbard's capital, Longyearbyen, some 50 km to the south, Barentsburg approximately 100 km south-west and the small research community of Ny-Ć lesund, 100 km to the west.
It is predicted that due to the low rate of decay in a frigid clime, the abandoned town's major buildings would be visible 500 years from now.
Pyramiden is currently being re-developed by the Russians to accommodate tourists. 5-6 people are currently stationed there to upgrade the facilities.

It's hard to describe how we felt when Pyramiden town appeared and became more and more visible as our boat approached its port.
Ghost city that plays strong with one's emotions - no matter if you remember Bradbury's books and Cormac McCarthy's The Road, or any of B-movies dealing with post-apocalyptic scenarios.
We were extremely lucky - when all the tourists were going back to the boat after a few hours visit, leaving us in Pyramiden alone, the guide told us that the two most beautiful days of Spitsbergen summer were just forecast. He was right - and the 2-nights stay there gave us unforgettable memories.
Clothes put out to dry outside one of the huts in the transit camp setup by POSCO-India.
The transit camp of POSCO, India that has been set-up for the few villagers who are so-called "Pro-POSCO". However, interviews revealed that they have been kept here forcefully since they have nowhere to go and are given Rs.20/- (50 cents) a day per head by the government for all their expenses, including food and other ration. The condition of the camp is abyssmally low. There are about 52 families sharing around 20 toilets and bathrooms. The huts leak when it rains and conditions are extremely unhygienic specially for old people and children.
