Abandoned Places in Pennsylvania. A Buried Plant

I had to spend two evenings to research the history of this place and locate ruins of abandoned buildings on modern map of Pennsylvania (Schuylkill County). Back to 1920s, it was an extensive coal mining site (known as the *** colliery), scattered with a few dozens of buildings and structures. The most significant of them, I believe, were the power plant and slope mine.

The place is pretty secluded and overgrown, but today I decided to hike to there and film everything. However, the abandoned plant appeared much cooler, than my modest expectations.

The power plant, partially demolished now, still is a very impressive concrete structure hidden in greenery. Built in 1923, the plant produced electricity for the local mines and a railroad branch. As well, it provided steam heat for colliery buildings (offices, wash house, lamp house, shops). In 1930, the plant as the colliery shut down. The coal breaker was dynamited in 1956. That explosion symbolized the end of the anthracite deep mine era in Pennsylvania.

Join my explorations of the eerie beauty of abandoned places in Pennsylvania, including this buried plant to discover the history and mystery of forgotten places.
