The largest coal staithes were located at Dunston in Gateshead, Hebburn and Tyne Dock, South Shields. |
|
Great forests of primitive plants covered the continents, many of which formed the coal beds of Europe and eastern North America. |
|
Cardiff was soon among the most important coal ports in the world and Swansea among the most important steel ports. |
|
At Goyt's Moss and Axe Edge, deep seams were worked and steam engines raised the coal and dewatered the mines. |
|
Coal from the eastern mines was used in lead smelting, and coal from the western mines for lime burning. |
|
It was in this environment that the Coal Measures were formed, the source of the majority of Britain's extensive coal reserves. |
|
However, this in turn was built on its exploitation of natural resources, especially coal and iron ore. |
|
|
The UK's primary industry was once dominated by the coal industry, heavily concentrated in the north, the Midlands and south Wales. |
|
Usually these consisted principally of a large cauldron of cooking fat, heated by a coal fire. |
|
By 1830 Newport was Wales' leading coal port, and until the 1850s it was larger than Cardiff. |
|
With the increase in tourism, coal decreased in importance but Sardinia followed the Italian economic miracle. |
|
Second, from 1850 to the outbreak of the First World War, the South Wales Coalfield was developed to supply steam coal and anthracite. |
|
Before 1866, no steamship could carry enough coal to make this voyage and have enough space left to carry a commercial cargo. |
|
The Ruabon area was once heavily industrialised with large deposits of iron, coal and clay. |
|
The coal was renowned in the area as being of very good quality and hot burning. |
|
However, efficiency did not matter very much within the context of a colliery, where coal was freely available. |
|
Thereafter, coal became and remained the dominant fuel worldwide until the end of general use of steam locomotives. |
|
The Black Country Society defines the Black Country's borders as the area on the thirty foot coal seam, regardless the depth of the seam. |
|
From the 1870s onwards, the economy of the town was dominated by the coal mining industry, with only a small tinplate works. |
|
In 1945 the British coal industry cut 72 per cent of their output mechanically, whereas in South Wales the figure was just 22 per cent. |
|
The ships were fitted with oil burners to improve the effectiveness of their main coal fueling. |
|
Another geological definition, the seam outcrop definition, only includes areas where the coal seam is shallow. |
|
The engines could be sited anywhere that water and coal or wood fuel could be obtained. |
|
The cargo carried on these lines was of a very high volume, and in 1850 the Taff Vale Railway was transporting 600,000 tons of coal per annum. |
|
On the second contract precautions were taken as the length was built on old coal mine workings. |
|
The tunnel under Gateshead, was bored through sandstone and excavated coal seams. |
|
All the subsurface mines were closed by 2001, although some open pit coal mining continues near Stellarton. |
