Coal, end of an era.
by Michael Ramsay

This waggonway is a preserved section dating from the 1700's, the wooden rails are still in the ground. Coal was mined for hundreds of years and now very few deep coal mines remain within the UK.
So from being a large exporter we now import the majority of our coal.

Poignant shot. Your commentary takes on particular meaning with the death of one who has been associated with the fate of coal-miners.
