Wingrove & Rogers Ltd. was founded in 1919, as electrical engineers producing control gear for another local firm, British Electric Vehicles Ltd., of Southport, who manufactured electric industrial trucks and mining locomotives. In the early 1920s with the advent of broadcasting, the firm made coils for radio equipment. In 1924 they moved to premises in Old Swan, Liverpool, and made a wide range of electro-mechanical devices. In 1926 British Electric Vehicles Ltd. was acquired, transferred to Liverpool and became known as the BEV division. The firm continued producing fork lift trucks and electric vehicles until the 1980s when it ceased trading.

Dahlonega, GA located in North Georgia was a center of gold mining in 1828, 20 years before the Califormia Gold Rush.
Rhyolite was a booming mining town in 1904. By 1908 it was in decline and today it stands deserted. The depot is the largest and best preserved structure remaining. They were removing so much ore and ordering so many supplies that three railroad companies served the community on the single set of tracks. The architecture is described as Mission Revival style.
Not a very good picture, but the best picture to give perspective to the size and the change of the landscape the iron ore mining have on the area.
LKAB's mine in Kiruna is the world's largest underground iron ore mine, located in the Kiirunavaara mountain. Mining currently takes place at a depth of over 1,300 meters and is crucial for European iron ore production. The operations cause deformations in the ground, which have forced a major relocation of the city of Kiruna.
The Junction Mine Poppethead at Broken Hill, NSW
-actually posted a color version of this photo earlier.
I was wondering what this would look like before a military company modified it for battle. So I made this. More pictures on Brickshelf (when public).
Whilst coal mining at Fox Clough, Colne, dates back as far as the 17th century, the Engine Pit was developed in 1832 by the executors of John Hargreaves. A large pumping engine was erected in this stone building and the colliery worked the Lower Mountain and Union seams at a depth of 183 feet. The pit was abandoned in 1872 and the enginehouse has slowly deteriorated since then. It has probably survived due to its hidden and inaccessible location.

Tawny Mining Bee (female) [Andrena fulva]
HYMENOPTERA > APOCRITA (Bees, Wasps and Ants) >
Apoidea (Bees) > Andrenidae > Andrena (Mining Bees)
A male Andrena mining-bee in our Staffordshire garden today. There were several active. This individual was resting on a bluebell flower.
By the size, colouration and long mandibles (with lateral tooth), I suspect that this is the Tawny Mining-bee (Andrena fulva). Lovely to see them at last!
Big Pit Blaenavon. Former South Wales Coal Field works 1860 - 1980
Now a Heritage Museum where visitors can descend in the Miners Cage to coal faces
Enjoyed our visit back in 2010
This place is on the other side of this narrow road from the Mammoth Mine which was on Mammoth Hill opposite the National Mine - on the same side of the hill. Mammoth Mine work the Lode that measured over 6000 ft making it one of the longest veins of gold ore. Tailings flow down hill and this road looks like it was cut through them so while I'm hunting up that other place I'll check for sure of this area. The Mammoth mine over looked Central City.
I also understand this area is rich in Quartz.
This monument celebrates the history of mining. It stands 15 feet tall. The monument is located in Bell Park, Sudbury, Ontario.

Dwarfing the cities they serve, these ancient monstrosities are a feature of the dark and desolate Draggone homeworld.
My entry for the 2013 MOCathalon, category 'Black and White - Create a moc that uses two and only two different Lego colors.'.
More pics here.
Only in this region of the country can you see seemingly gratuitous blocks of flats in the middle of a village: Múcsony and Szuhakálló used to be home of many miners and their families.
After the fall of communism, most of the coal mines in the vicinity were shut down, leaving most people in the area without jobs and livelihood. Only the blocks of flats and the forever-rolling Ikaruses remain to remind us of the once glorious past.
GXD-417 is pacing through the village on it's remarkable Miskolc-Ragály journey. It was manufactured in 98' for Russian export, but as with many 263s from this batch, it never saw service with the Soviets due to the big ruble crisis.
Three is the number!
Three M! As three are the MOCs! Three different kinds: upgrade, revamp, and new!
Actually it's not a project or anything, I just realized that my three latest works are related to the Earth element, and I come up with this... "joke", so why not. =P Probably you already suspect the three MOCs, but still I hope you'll expect their pictures with enthusiasm! ^^
P.S: two of them will be posted in April but shhhh.
there's my truck- when I actually get to drive it. I have to run shovel and loader and pumps and utility stuff lots too. But nothing beats being left alone to drive up and down the haulroad all day!
PS- for those of you who want to hear about the little misadventure I had on pumps a few weeks ago, go here: homiebear.blogspot.ca/2012/06/this-story-would-be-so-much...
and then here for the fallout: homiebear.blogspot.ca/2012/07/so-not-only-did-i-get-piss-...
This rather good picture is taken at Gospel Oak, Tipton. It shows a happy family next to their house which is sinking into the ground. The family are wearing clogs, not unusual in the late 19th century. Behind the billowing washing a newly built railway line is visible, I hope the surveyors took note of the house. In front of the house tram tracks are set into the road, by the lightness of the track and the granite setts between the rails this could be a horse tramway.
Undated.
