This is the photo of a beermat that I found in a flat that I bought in Nottingham.
Nottingham used to be a big mining area, but most of the mines have now closed.
The primary goal of the coal mining risk assessment is to determine the dangers associated with coal mining at the development site. The Coal Authority acts as a legal consultant for any planning proposal within a High-Risk Zone. Moreover, the coal authority conducts a formal inspection to examine previous data on your site. These analyses can be related to any mining plans, a review of modern and historical published geological maps, and a review of technical reports/memoirs.

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.
The Museum is run by a group of volunteers in a microgranite quarry at Threlkeld, with a Geology Room, Bookshop, Underground Experience, Gold Panning, Excavator Display, Engine House and Steam Engine, all there to enjoy together with the Quarry and the views. Also on offer are mine tours and mineral panning.
The quarry itself is a RIGS site and displays contacts between the “Skiddaw Slate” and the granite intrusion, as well as other fascinating features.
Threlkeld Quarry and Mining Museum have their own narrow gauge railway and “Sir Tom”, a steam locomotive, hauls passengers daily in the summer holidays and on other weekends. In quiet periods one of the collection of vintage classic diesel locos is used.
Michele standing in a tailrace. Water was used to sluice alluvial gravels into a riffle box, which separated out the gold from the rock. The water and rock mixture then washed out through theses tail races.
The private mining operation on Cod Fish Creek. At least the Holiday Inn trash can fared well.
Background:
The Applegate Fire broke out on Wednesday, October 8th. As of Sunday, October 12, all evacuations were lifted, which meant, time to check out the Hermit Hut and see how the trail fared.
Assessment
No more poison oak in a lot of places! Secret Trail from railroad tracks to the to the gravel, totally burned out, but passable. There is one large tree across the "goat path". I cut a lot of low hanging branches. Scott Namanny and I moved a lot of downed small trees and slash in a few areas. All in all, it's very ride-able!

Lebanon mine tour in the Georgetown historical area - that greenish shade is a light that has been placed and that is a water filled tunnel doing down - something like over a 100 ft - the ladder that was used at the time is still in place.
Tumco (originally Hedges) was a gold mining town in the Cargo Muchachos range founded in the 1870s. For half a century men toiled in this place, dying of exhaustion, starvation, and disease, drowned or crushed in mines and quarries, all for one dollar a day in wages. Today little remains of Tumco save some ruins, derelict mining equipment and a cemetery full of unmarked graves. The site is almost totally silent save for the wind whistling through the jagged Muchachos and the hundreds of tunnels delved into them. This place gave me the creeps.
