Markham Colliery, near Blackwood South Wales - May 2017

Aerial view of the remains of the Markham Colliery near Blackwood South Wales which opened in 1910 and closed in 1986. The two shafts are all that remain of the works and have been capped for safety. The industrial buildings and railway that carried the coal and connected the Colliery have all long gone. The site is being reclaimed by plant life and wildlife slowly.
