Big-Pit,-Blaenafon-3 
 The Engine Pit Level was driven around 1810 by hand due to dynamite being invented 50 years later. The site is now a museum of industrial heritage and well worth a visit. I remember the valleys of Cymru (Wales) being black with slag heaps everywhere. Even the rivers ran black. Now it's a green and pleasant land.
