The National Mining Museum Scotland at Newtongrange, three miles south of the Edinburgh bypass. Located in the buildings of the old Lady Victoria Colliery, it provides an amazing insight into an industry once vital to Scotland and now gone.

Had today off work so took my father to Woodhorn mining museum as it's somewhere we've both considered going to since it got expanded.
Quite an interesting morning, not least hearing my father's stories prompted by seeing various bits of equipment.
While he wasn't a miner himself there were many in the family and his work regularly took him down various pits to repair machinery.

Well it's been very hot'n'heavy welding up this commission! But such a lovely job for the great bunch of volunteers at Pleasley Pit in #NorthNotts.This sign, to celebrate the anniversary is made made up of nuts, bolts, drills & spanners - all from the old pit stores and the frame is fabricated from one of the original tunnel supports! If you have no knowledge of how #coalmining shaped the whole of #NEDerbyshire & #NorthNottinghamshire then this is the place to start your investigations!

I can only offer hope that they are able to deal with any legacy contamination & reclamation problems from the old mine, & that their plans for the alternative hydropower project prove to be ecologically & economically sound.

Today we stopped by NZ's old Blackball coal mine, now closed and rusting at the end of a nature walk. By the remains of the miner bathhouse, there's a sign (and a poem) explaining its significance:
"The bathhouse was gained through union agitation. Before that miners had to bathe in a tub at home."
The collective actions of these tough labourers, especially their 1908 strike, cemented the labour movement in NZ.

This artefact in the woods looks like a boulder,maybe a glacial erratic but the rust colouring and its position in a historical #coalmining and #ironworking area point to waste from #smelting.The word #slag bear comes to mind. Have I dreamt that name? #cinderloo

Beautiful scenes here in Barnsley. It's hard to believe this nature trail over the old coal spoil heaps once looked over a black industrial landscape.

Last couple of days I've been out in the woods with experts who'll be developing a plan to increase biodiversity in the #Dawley Hamlets Local #NatureReserve I've learned loads.By chance we bumped into the contractors who have already started on our project with "bugs Life" to preserve and restore the heathland on Parish mound by cutting back gorse.
