This shallow shaft is close to the show mine at the Black Country Living Museum. It has recently been refurbished along with the support underground by lads from the Free Mines of the Forest of Dean. A night shot taken at the Red by night event.

There are still gems of mining sites to be found in forgotten corners of Britain. This little stone mine stands disused but untouched after several years since closure.

The Senje colliery is the oldest coal mine in Serbia, the first shaft having been sunk in 1853. The current main shaft was completed in c1927 and is 175 metres deep. The headgear dates from the sinking of this shaft which is used for winding men and materials. It is operated by a steam winding engine built in 1878 and relocated here from a mine at Vrdnik.
