This painting Landscape with a Mine c1775 by Paul Sandby is probably Wales but it is how Radstock's mines would have looked like at the time of the American Revolution. It's from an excellent page of Mining In Art which is well worth a look if you have an interest in the early years of mining. Pitmen at Play and Pitmen playing Quoits c1836 are interesting to me - but they're all fascinating.
