Black Heath, Coal mining complex in Midlothian, Virginia, United States
Black Heath features a combination of historical buildings and coal mining structures situated across extensive grounds in Chesterfield County, Virginia.
The coal mining operations at Black Heath, starting in 1790, supplied fuel to the White House during President Thomas Jefferson's administration.
The grounds of Black Heath included gardens, an oak grove, a circular brick dovecote, and multiple outbuildings reflecting early American industrial development.
The site, located at geographical coordinates 37.516472 latitude and -77.638083 longitude, underwent transformation into housing developments after 1971.
The mansion at Black Heath collapsed in the early 20th century due to the extensive network of coal mining tunnels beneath its foundation.
