The Banovici Bunkers

Brown coal mining in the Tuzla region of Bosnia-Herzegovina is largely from opencast workings, but there are a few underground mines too. These are the loading bunkers for coal being brought by conveyor from a drift adjacent to the mining railway workshops in Banovici. From here the coal was taken by rail to the washery at Oskova a few miles away. At the time of my visit this drift mine was not working and I do not know if it ever reopened.
