HFF Blaenavon Monmouth Wales 15th September 2023

Like many of the South Wales coal mines the Big Pit at Blaenavon was located high up on the valley side above the village. What's missing at what is now a museum is the huge spoil tip that loomed behind the site when it was active.

HFF to everyone. Have a great weekend.

A fine capture and this mono works well with it Peter. I was here too only 18 moths ago (it feels like years). Well done.

HFF, enjoy the weekend. Herb

It looks so bucolic and picturesque, Pete, especially in B&W….belying the dark and difficult history of this and other Welsh colliery villages.
Beautiful! Have a super weekend….D
