RE: UNESCO World Heritage Site: Zollverein Coal Mining Industrial Complex: #01 - Shaft 1/2/8
Very interesting!
I saw the old mining works all over Wales when I lived there. Every pit had its tragic story too - sad, but true. Looks like this one (that you're sharing) was one of the luckier ones.
They sure are some smaller tragic stories too .. I heard of a huge tragedy there once due to the breakdown of the ventilation system .. but overall this complex was really lucky .. it even survived the bomb attacks during WW II with only minor issues ;) ..
