New uses for old infrastructure: 101 things to do with the ‘stuff’ next to the hole in the ground

Abstract: Ten years ago, the Post-Mining Alliance in association with the Eden Project published Georgina Pearman's 101 Things to Do with a Hole in the Ground. This publication illustrates the ways in which closed mines have been repurposed in an environmentally, socially and economically sustainable manner. However, there was limited mention of repurposing the associated mine infrastructure. This is understandable given that the focus of the tome was on the 'hole in the ground', and in fact illustrates how much compani… Show more

“…With a new intrinsically regenerative plan for future mining projects, even mines developed closer to home might be more acceptable to European society. Even abandoned and negative legacies have been shown to be able to be repurposed for a net-positive future [80,81].…”

“…Repurposing former mine infrastructure for tourism and recreation accounts for around 25% of the uses for these features identified by Finucane & Tarnowy (2019), while repurposing for community and business purposes (e.g. offices, hotels, retail facilities and residential usage) also accounts for around 25% of the identified uses.…”

“…offices, hotels, retail facilities and residential usage) also accounts for around 25% of the identified uses. It was noted by Finucane & Tarnowy (2019) that opportunities for community and business use are more likely to exist where mines occur near settlements and larger population centres. Indeed, a more recent study by Hu (2021) found that adaptive re-use of collieries as industrial heritage could enhance the viability of urban regeneration for mining cities in China.…”
