Boring Machine Type:Unframed 000 people at the city'sA rotary cutting head from Awaba Colliery's boring machine, its carbide tipped teeth thick with rust, sits on a stained concrete slab with crawler tracks visible beneath. White hydraulic hoses still connect the machine's sections, dormant since mining ceased in March 2012. Awaba operated from 1947 until coal reserves in the Great Northern Seam were exhausted. Part of the Awaba Colliery series.
