Very true Jeff, I have some photos from Bradley Hill with healthy looking veg plots in the past. Also read some accounts from the 1870's/80's of 'village fetes', incl. a couple of mine at the bran tub. Whilst the mines were there, very little aforestation, like now, as evidenced by the popular postcard views around 1900. Same now where I live although never an industrial area.
