Mining activities have significantly altered the landscape, the skyline is dominated by smokestacks and buildings towering over the stark area where silver and lead had been extracted.

We were often told that changes were inevitable as old outdated smokestack industries declined.
I said that our labour-intensive, smokestack industries had been replaced by modern industry.
