The very identity of the South Wales valleys changed forever during the days when coal was mined deep beneath it's surface in 1970's.
Many villages and towns sprang from nowhere thanks to the mining industry which gave the whole nation a rich and prosperous future. The opening of new mines on almost a daily basis lead to an employment boom such as not only Wales but the rest of Great Britain had never seen before. People came from far and wide to risk lives deep underground in deadly conditions.
Many of us who are from the South Wales valleys will have, I'm sure, had a relative who spent their lives in the search for coacl and who may even have lost their lives in doing so.
The above photo was taken on the 28/12/2013 in a small town called Bargoed in South Wales. It was one of the many places that came to be because of the mines. This recently errected monument honours the miners who built the town and who's memory will live on forever in the spirit of the community.
The inscription on the steps reads;
'With Pride,
Remember Them,
For Us,
A Future,
They Built,
Remember the Miners'.
A fitting tribute, to a time we must never forget.

Photographed at the Battery Hill Mine Museum. Tennant Creek has a rich history as a gold mining centre. Here was found one of the richest gold bearing seams ever mined in the world. Very remotely located in central Australian desert country, life was harsh for the people who lived here.
As we're walking in I noticed the first part of the ceiling - that the rail tracks they use for the the ore cars.

As well as being outdoor instructors, both Pete and team member Ewan are officers for the Derbyshire Caving Association. Yesterday we we're installing a gate on a mine level near a public footpath. The level ends at a 40ft deep shaft.

Broken Hill is located east of the Simpson Desert in Australia. Silver, lead and zinc were discovered here in vast reserves in the 19th Century and it has been a huge mining centre ever since. The entire city is dominated by mining, mining history, and the legacy of wealth resulting in fine monumental stone buildings in an unlikely desert setting.
These are the crushers. The ore is brought into the mill area and is put into the large SAG(semiautogenous grinding)and then it passes to the smaller crusher (BALL) which will break it down further. The ore slurry is then passed to the flotation tanks
Quarrying for mud with which to seal its brood cells. First time I have seen this activity - and saw several today!
