Lignitequarries

The lignite quarries dataset shows the nine lignite quarries (opencast mining) that the Netherlands has known. In the 20th century lignite mining took place on a modest scale in the Netherlands. Triggered by the high coal prices during the First World War, it became lucrative for some entrepreneurs to exploit the lignite. Lignite was mined on these sites for a short time during and immediately after the First World War.
