Visitors can even go underground to see the old (now abandoned) ore mine.

The Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) estimates that mine clean-up costs in the province have increased with the growth of oil-sand mining and in 2016, topped more than Can$23 billion (approximately US$18 billion; Cryderman 2017). The extraction of bitumen from surface oil sands in north-eastern Alberta produces an enormous amount of fluid tailings – for every barrel of bitumen extracted from the oil sands, 1.5 barrels of tailings waste is produced (Grant et al. 2013. It is estimated that Alberta currently has more than 1 billion cubic metres of oil-sand tailings (AER 2017).
The Alberta Mine Financial Security Program collects a security deposit from oil-sand miners to protect the public Estimated cost of mine clean-up – an example from oil-sand mining in Alberta, Canada from end-of-life project closure costs. The programme requires a base security, which increases when the mine has less than 15 years of life remaining. The fund currently holds about Can$1.38 billion – it is designed to cover the cost of making the site safe and providing ongoing management if the approval holder fails to meet its obligations (AER 2017). The AER has recently introduced measures to improve tailings management and ensure compliance with legislative requirements (AER 2016). However, there is concern that the programme does not currently obtain sufficient financial security from mine operators to safeguard the public from clean-up liabilities (Cryderman 2017).

thankfully coal mining has recommenced since this photo was taken, and the SMR is in action again but now it has diesels for motive power.

Radstock was formerly at the heart of the Somerset Coal Field, but all the pits closed quite a time ago and it's now a commuter town for Bath; This monument stands in front of Radstock Museum.
I really like this picture. It's not the best og qualities or focus or the likes, but I think that added wit the sepia effect gives it such an old feeling.

Just outside of Norway is a small town that is still mining for Iron Ore and we took a tour of the historical areas of the mine and I spotted these logs off the the side of one of the passages.

The North of England Institute of Mining and Mechanical Engineers is the world’s oldest professional mining organisation. In its early years it undertook many experiments and its Members investigated accidents, trying to understand the causes of mining disasters and ensuring measures were put in hand to prevent further disasters. This scientific analysis of accidents is common today, but was ground breaking at the time. The institute is housed in one of the finest buildings in Newcastle, Neville Hall, a Victorian building built at the time when high-Gothic architecture was coming into fashion.
