It's amazing how little this has been touched over the years. In the US, this would have all been destroyed by vandals already.

I agree with Mike, especially since it is right there on the road. OR maybe that's the reason why!

In the US everything would be torn down and the area reclamed or returned to nature if the mine was permenently closed.

Please. In the US this site would have been demolished and replaced with a mall or a condo development.

It's weird, i'm an interior designer with a concentration in Kitchen and bath cabinetry. More and more people are demolishing the old victorian houses and then putting new modern houses in...yet they get cabinets that look like they've been through the war for that authentic look! LOL!
