Blackhall Rocks, County Durham, England

Blackhall Rocks is a village on the North Sea coast. This area was once an industrial blackspot, courtesy of years and years of extensive coal mining and dumping, directly into the sea and onto the beaches. As you can see, times have changed and whilst it is of course sad that the industry has left and with it thousands of jobs, the area's natural beauty has returned and for the fauna and flora at least, Blackhall rocks again ;)
