Figure 13.2.
Black Country landscape in the 1960s. Mine spoil heaps and pit pools such
as these were common in the seventeenth century and stocked with coarse fish to
provide food. The large block in the background is the remains of a slag-heap from a
blast-furnace demolished in the 1940s. Today the area is all housing. (
