Ms. Que Banh<p>The only <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ruins" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ruins</span></a> left at <a href="https://beige.party/tags/abandoned" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>abandoned</span></a> No.8 coal mine in <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Cumberland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Cumberland</span></a>. There used to be a huge building here but it was demolished in the 90s. Before it was torn down, it was a popular party place for local <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ComoxValley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ComoxValley</span></a> teenagers. All the old mine shafts have been blocked off for public safety. There is still a large abandoned building that was part of this former large coal mine site but it's really deep into the forest &amp; you need to bushwhack your way there. We had very limited time on this past road trip so I stuck to showing my friends the 2 easiest accesses to cool <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AbandonedPlaces" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AbandonedPlaces</span></a>.</p><p>Eight mines used to operate at Comox, named No. 1 Mine through to No. 8 Mine. The workings consisted of boreholes, air shafts, mine entries, &amp; underground network of tunnels. A rail network was also developed to link the ore piles with the town &amp; Union Bay. Old rail bed remain in place today as public trails. A series of survey monuments also remains on the surface today. These have been tracked down, beginning with a concrete monument located slightly below ground in the vicinity of Cumberland Park &amp; recorded to match the maps of the underground workings with the surface-level features today.</p><p>The mines at <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Comox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Comox</span></a> were technically advanced for their time, with partial mechanization &amp; electrification well before 1900. The first documented use of electricity underground was in the No. 4 Mine in 1891, when four electrically-driven coal-cutters were installed.</p><p>Canadian Collieries (owned by <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Dunsmuir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Dunsmuir</span></a> family) Ltd. operated coal mines on Vancouver Island, including the Wellington Mines near Nanaimo &amp; Comox Mines at Cumberland. Comox Mines had earlier been operated by Union <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Colliery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Colliery</span></a> Company, the first of the mines being opened in 1888. The last of the Comox Mines, the No.8 Mine, was closed in 1953.</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/BCMiningHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BCMiningHistory</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AbandonedMines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AbandonedMines</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VancouverIsland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VancouverIsland</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VanIsle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VanIsle</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PacificNorthwest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PacificNorthwest</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PNW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PNW</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BChistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BChistory</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VancouverIslandHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VancouverIslandHistory</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/graffiti" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>graffiti</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/InTheForest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InTheForest</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/No8Mine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>No8Mine</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/CoalMiningHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CoalMiningHistory</span></a></p>
Undiscovered Scotland<p>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.

B.ellaI really like <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sculpture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sculpture</a> parks. This one is the Teutoburgia art forest in <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Herne?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Herne</a>. Herne is a town in the <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Ruhr?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Ruhr</a> region, so it is closely linked to <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/coal?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#coal</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mining?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mining</a>. The striking headframe of the former <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/colliery?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#colliery</a> stands on the site of the <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/artForest?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#artForest</a>.
