Kickstarting the new year with a #MiningLandscape. An Xmas tradition for Catherine when she is south of the border it’s either walk to Cobb’s Engine House, Rowley Regis in the #BlackCountry if it’s dry, or up and down the 1.7 miles of #Netherton #canal tunnel if it’s wet. 2025 was dry.
A #MiningLandscape for today’s post. The former Orchard pit bing #Crossford South #Lanarkshire. The short lived venture operated from 1883 to1887 #Coal #MiningHeritage
New route added to #MiningLandscape #Ecomuseum’s collection, a short circular exploring the planned industrial village, the site of the Lady Lillian (Lochhead), Duncan, Albert and Hugo pits and the associated private railway see 👉https://www.mining-landscapes.org/route/35
A panoramic, wide angle photograph in colour, signed by Kev Peirce, showing a massive open cut mine. The image captures the immense scale of the excavation, with distinct, stepped layers (benches) visible along the sides of the pit, highlighting the geology and mining method. The base of the mine is a mix of dark, excavated material and two pools of stagnant, yellowish green water. The surrounding landscape is arid and flat under a clear, pale blue sky, emphasising the isolation and the environmental impact of the operation.
The scale of extraction: Deep into the open cut mine at Leigh Creek.
Leigh Creek, South Australia.

#MiningLandscape Journey news this morning, the short cut on the #Crossford to Tillitudlem Route, South #Lanarkshire see www.mining-landscapes.org/route/94 has been cut back and is now passable. A stunning beech hedged path that takes you off the road and reduces your return journey by 0.5K
Carbonara has settled back into her native #Fife and begun her #mininglandscape mascot duties heading off with Ratticus to inspect the recent sink hole in #Kincardine allegedly caused by their burrowing brown norvegicus cousins
