Located on part of the now closed North Staffordshire Coal Field – the Apedale Country Park is a fine example of nature reclaiming industrial sites. The history of the site is celebrated in the Mining Museum – free of charge. The Moseley Railway Trust also found a home there for their collection of 2 foot gauge railways. Their steam fleet includes a Kerr Stuart Tatoo class 0-4-2T “Stanhope” and a Joffre 0-6-0T. The latter stars when the annual “Tracks to the Trenches” festival takes place with suitably dressed cast, train loads and replica trenches.
The Mining Museum is well worth a visit – Coal power drove the Potteries. Large chunks of NCB equipment await restoration whilst providing a home for blackberries.
The Apedale Country Park is located in the D formed by the M6 between junctions 15 and 16 and the A500 Stoke on Trent relief road. It is accessed from the A34.
The St Aidan's BE1150-B is a walking dragline opencast coal mining machine. Built in 1948 it initially worked near Pontypool in Wales from 1954 to 1963. It then worked near Cannock in Staffordshire before moving to Yorkshire in 1974. It survived the flood caused by the breach of the River Aire in 1988 and was donated to St Aidan's trust in 2000 as a museum site.

The old abandoned mine that's been long forgotten after being shut down & closed off after so many unexplained deaths over the years so no one knows what still lurks there. There have been rumours of awful moans coming from deep inside there but who knows

A large gem mining sluice activity was built in winter 2016 in front of Trapper Dave's General Store, replacing a much smaller one that can be seen in this photo.

Kawah Ijen is Java's famous sulfur-belching volcanic crater. It is also the regular workplace for almost three hundred men, who make the grueling journey up the mountain and down the crater rim to mine sulfur.
The men depend on nothing more than a metal rod and sheer muscle power. They have no special equipment to assist them with the mining and little to no protection from the poisonous fumes that the volcano constantly expels. The job of the men at Kawah Ijen might be one of the most difficult and dangerous in the world
I love that the big lumbering service trucks on our mine are named Galactica, Voyager, Enterprise and Excelsior
There's something so nostalgic and all-out cool about seeing wooden mining infrastructure such as that found within the old Crockett tipple built in the early 70's, a prelude to the coal boom of the decade. Looking at this structure, you would think it was much older than what it looks, and a part of me wonders if the wooden aspects was built alongside the original tipple here and repurposed when the steel portion was added. You sure don't see this much anymore.
Banská štôlňa Kilián
Gold digging in Magurka began about the year 1250. The village was famous throughout the Austro-Hungarian monarchy for its deposits of gold ore. The mines are located above the village, in the northern slopes of Latiborská hoľa, in altitude from 1100 to 1400 m.
An old mining adit Kilián, founded in 1835 was the longest adit in the whole Magurka ore field. Extends 3674 meters below the ridge of Latiborská hoľa and was the main adit on which the other adits were connected.
Banská štôlňa Kilián bola založená roku 1835 a bola najdlhšou zo všetkých štôlní magurského banského systému. Siahala 3674 metrov pod Latiborskú hoľu a bola hlavnou štôlňou na ktorú sa napájali aj ostatné štôlne. V súčasnosti všetky štôlne v tejto lokalite sú buď v zlom technickom stave, kvôli svojmu veku, alebo sú úplne zavalené.
