I have been asked to do a mini personal project, my chosen topic for my project is welsh coal mining memorials. I chose this topic as I find history of wales and the valleys intresting. Before I took picture of mining memorials I thought I'd get an idea of what the miners whent through every day, so I went down to big pit in blinavon. Big pit is an operational mine and is one of only a few mines left in wales. They do a number of tours everyday where you can go underground and experience what it was like for the miners. Unfortunatley I wasn't allowed to take my camera underground as it is still an operational mine, but I still managed to get a few good shots.
The first few picture I took were of the lift shaft witch took you underground. This was a tall metal structure that was the key point of the mine.
