Underground Lighting Cynon Valley
Mining is not really thought of as a common or popular job these days and it is definitely not a trade many people jump into which is amazing due to the long standing history it is has in the United Kingdom. Coal mining can be traced as far back as the Roman times on this fair isle. There were many large expanses of coal fields up and down the country from as far down as Kent, all the way up north to the Scottish Central Belt. But in recent decades, the coal mining scene in the United Kingdom changed exponentially when 950 different mines were shut between the years of 1947 and 1994. The most common effect of this that a lot of people remember is when Margaret Thatcher closed 115 mines between 1979 and 1990 when she was the leader of the Conservative party. A big part of the reason coal mining was phased out was the move to electricity which eliminated the need for coal throughout the British infrastructure and supply chain whether it be for steam engine trains or heating family homes. This does not mean that coal was gone completely as it is still being used today. Interestingly, even though coal is not sourced from the United Kingdom and is brought in from overseas, we are not able to rely without it just quite yet. Coal is still responsible for making power stations create electricity and only in late 2019 that it was possible that the United Kingdom managed to break previous records and go 8 days, 6 hours and 10 minutes without using coal power. There are several pledges and initiatives in place to completely get rid of using coal power plants at any point in the production of electricity and the aim is for that to happen by. Until then what about if you need to be the person down the mine excavating coal for the rest of the country? How can you make your life and job easier?
