Not so long ago, our roads, buildings, gravestones and monuments
were built from local rock, our cities were powered by coal from
Welsh mines, and our lamps were lit with paraffin from Scottish
shale. We live among the remnants of those times but for the most
part our mines are gone, our buildings are no longer local, and the
flow of stone travels east to west. Spurred on by the erasure of
history and industry, Ted Nield journeyed across this buried
landscape: from the small Welsh village where his mining ancestors
were born and died, to Swansea, Aberdeen, East Lothian, Surrey and
Dorset. Nield unearths the veins of coal, stone, oil, rock and clay
that make up the country beneath our feet, exploring what the loss
of kinship between past and present means for Britain and the rest
of the world today.
