    It's not the famous image of Emmeline Pankhurst's 1914 arrest, but it's very similar.
  • Dave Conner said:
    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Police History, and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.

    Those are some big burly cops.

Is this a whole hole or a half a hole, that is the question?

    Its a whole new day and week and now we have an image from Co. Waterford for your delectation!

    Surprised that there is a photo of the workers at Bunmahon. Mining ceased in 1880 under the Mining Company of Ireland and when it resumed in 1906 (under the Bonmahon Copper Mining Syndicate) it only lasted until 1907.

    A view (not mine) of one of the wagons used on the internal railway - which closed in 1880! www.flickr.com/photos/joecashin/383143066/in/photolist-9W...
  • Niall McAuley said:
    I think this is a half a hole.The man in the hole is clearly holding a rope which is meant to look as if it extends further down into a shaft. But there isn't any tension in it, I'd say the end of the rope is just out of sight.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    It's somewhere in this general area.

Copper mining section between Ducktown and Copperhill], Tennessee. Fumes from smelting copper for sulfuric acid have destroyed all vegetation and eroded the land (LOC)

    I wonder what this looks like now. I live in Tennessee and would like to see what this area is like present day.
  • Pat Henson said:
    It's pretty much restored. I grew up here, and when the plant closed down in the late '80's, the earth reapired itself pretty quickly.
  • Randy Garbin said:
    Doesn't look all that much restored from this image: www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?q=ducktown,+tn&mkt=en-...

    This is the caption that Marion Post Walcott included with her photo from 1939 but the actual damage to the vegetation occurred in the late 1800's. The smelting technology of that time did not allow the sulfur dioxide generated by the heating of the ore to be captured. By 1909 the mining companies developed new practices which let them recover the sulfur dioxide and use it in the manufacture of sulfuric acid. Reclamation in the Basin began in the 1930's with varying degrees of success initially. By the 1970's new techniques were developed and today most of the Basin has been revegetated.
