The Tamar Trails on the #Devon side of the Tamar.

It’s the site of Devon Great Consols, once the world's largest copper mine. Once the copper price crashed, it switched to producing arsenic. In the 1880s it was said there was enough arsenic stored on site to poison everyone on the planet.

William Morris was a shareholder at DGC, and his uncle one of its managers. Arsenic from here was used in his wallpapers. It was the largest employer of people from our village.

Bedford cottages by Tavistock canal. They were built for copper/tin miners and their families by the Duke of Bedford estate in the 19th century #Tavistock #Devon #industrialheritage #miningheritage

A new perspective on the Kaiser Wilhelm Bridge in Wilhelmshaven — seen straight on, with its steel structure, hanging lanterns, and strong symmetry standing out beautifully in black and white. Opened in 1907, this historic swing bridge remains one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks.

The Kaiser-Wilhelm-Brücke is a landmark of Wilhelmshaven and was opened on 29 August 1907.

A black-and-white look at the Kaiser Wilhelm Bridge in Wilhelmshaven — one of the city’s best-known landmarks. Opened in 1907, this striking double-leaf steel swing bridge spans the Verbindungshafen and was once built as the largest swing bridge in Germany. These views show both its full silhouette and some of the beautiful industrial details that make it so iconic.

The bridge is described by Wikipedia as a landmark of Wilhelmshaven; it is a riveted steel swing bridge, 159 meters long, opened on 29 August 1907, and was built as the largest swing bridge in Germany at the time.

Întreprinderea de Metale Rare
wirkt heute wie ein Relikt aus der späten Industriezeit, doch der Ort steht für eine Phase, in der Rohstoffe, Technologie und staatliche Planung eng zusammenhängen. Die Anlage ist Teil der Umbrüche nach 1990, als viele industrielle Komplexe stillgelegt und ihrem Verfall überlassen wurden.

A young grey heron spotted yesterday at Endcliffe Park, Sheffield, UK.
There are several dams (lakes) in the Porter Valley which all once provided the water for water wheels. This particular one is usually swarming with mallard and mandarin ducks but at this time of year they are all away nesting, giving our heron a bit of peace.
