| “ | To the memory of those who lost their lives in the fight to extract coal from this mine, Minnie Pit, Halmerend, 1890-1931. | ” |

Famous quotes containing the words site and/or today:
“I am not aware that any man has ever built on the spot which I occupy. Deliver me from a city built on the site of a more ancient city, whose materials are ruins, whose gardens cemeteries. The soil is blanched and accursed there, and before that becomes necessary the earth itself will be destroyed.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It makes worries like what you wear today seem stupid.”
—Rebecca Neel (b. c. 1981)
