It's rather sad to see how it came to such an inglorious end! <br /><br />I guess it's all in the name of progress? That's what we're led to believe anyway!<br /><br />And not forgetting the excellent set of images...[;o)The Heraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11393815486440597141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-51484304241246040312011-11-02T10:50:54.556+00:002011-11-02T10:50:54.556+00:00I've only seen a few all-black sheep on Lewis....I've only seen a few all-black sheep on Lewis. There was a small flock (a flocklet?) near me last year for a short while.

It happens!!<br />All these mining equipment are beautifully well restored and maintained by the look of them! It's important to not let them decay as they are a little opening on the history of the region and when you talk to people in the Uk you realize that many of them had a distant relative working in the mines! I didn't have to visit a tin mine while i was in Cornwall (another major mining area) last month but it will be the next visit's purpose. Thank for all these stunning (sunny) photos and a good day to you!Travel France Onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00944836623797085969noreply@blogger.com
