My favourite example of that is Coniston Old Man (not far from where we were today), a great big mountain that's swarmed with tourists on any clear day, yet halfway up are broken shells of buildings, mine shafts, huge steel cables and pipes and carts, all to shift a mountain's worth of slate. Pic related, from a trip up it last year.
Tons of abandoned slate quarries and stockpiles in the area. I dunno what happened to them, do people not want slate anymore? Should I blame Thatcher? It feels like something I should blame Thatcher for.
