La Camocha colliery; Gijón - Asturias - Northern Spain
This colliery was commissioned in 1935 and it is living its very last few days in service, it will be decommissioned by this 31st dec. It is located close to the shore at the country side of the most populated city in Asturias.
The green frame on the right hand side, with the Koepe pulley system and its winding engine was put in place brand new in the late 80s to replace the old one and its steam winding engine.
Most of the building are expected to be demolished to stablish and industrial state on that ground.

Great industrial landscape! Maybe you cut the photo at the lower and upper edge arount 2 cm each to avoid the disturbance horizon and the unneccasary green in the foreground?
