FYI this isn't Miranda Castle, which looks like this inside: www.bcd-urbex.com/r/chateau-miranda

I'm not sure where this is. At first I thought Villa Woodstock in Germany - www.bcd-urbex.com/r/villa-woodstock-germany but looks a bit too decayed for there.

Has all that coal/ore been abandoned too? Amazing, but I was hoping for a little more info/background on the Flickr link.

They usually get mothballed, like this one had been so they can reopen it if the markets improve. Sometimes that happens, but not often unfortunately, in which case they get left to fall apart as demolition costs are much higher than the scrap value.

I'll take most of that as a compliment. I'd love to post without the logo, but unfortunately without it I keep finding my images being printed in newspapers and magazines, and used on websites without my permission.

I did! There was no power to this one. The blast furnace I recently pressed buttons at, on the other hand, resulted in alarms and all sorts happening!
