Description: | A photograph of a watercolour showing the Thick Coal Seam being worked by miners. The Thick Coal is one of the thickest coal seams in the world, which runs beneath the Black Country. In its thickest parts it can be up to 12 meters (36 foot) thick, and only a small amount has been mined since the industrial revolution meaning there is still plenty of coal under the Black Country.
