Mining hazard (not including coal) Great Britain version 7

Underground extraction of minerals and rocks has taken place in Great Britain for more than 5000 years. The dataset draws together a range of diverse information; the geology, the primary constraint on distribution; additional information sourced from published literature and knowledge from BGS experts. Areas of known underground mining are identified with an indication of the level of hazard associated for each site. The presence of former underground workings, particularly where shallow, may collapse, causing surface settlement or subsidence. The type of material mined, age and extent of working (where known) is used to assess and classify the hazard at each site. The value is based on an A (mining is not known to have occurred) to E (evidence of extensive underground mining is known) scale. Mining Hazard (not including coal) covers areas of known underground working in Great Britain. The coverage is not comprehensive as areas with no evidence of underground working are not included in the data. The dataset was created to provide a comprehensive overview of Great Britain's long and complicated mining legacy. It provides essential information for planners and developers working in areas where former underground mine workings may have occurred. Also for anyone involved in the ownership or management of property, including developers, householders and local government.

Statement
The data set is derived from a diverse range of material and builds on the previously released versions 1 and 5 of the BGS Mining Hazard (not including coal). It was constructed using ESRI ArcGIS GIS software. Seven individual data layers, each of which was created either from information from literature, local and expert knowledge or spatial extents derived from DigMap GB 50k bedrock data. The data were compiled into the seven individual data layers prior to undergoing a series of GIS data processes to combine into a single final data layer. The derived information was then checked and edited by geologists with detailed local knowledge prior to release.
