 Vintondale strip mine... This is a digital photo of the same strip mining operation featured in the video that is now on the Nanty Glo Home Page. In this photo, the size and true color of the coal seam are clearly seen. These days, mine owners are required to restore the landscape to its former condition and appearance, once the coal has been harvested. | |||||||
