This was once a coal mining island. It was established in the early 1900s and saw it's height in 1959 with 5000 people living there. It was one of the most densely populated areas on Earth. Inexplicably though, the coal supply ran out, and the people left - leaving only the ghosts of the past, and the still standing concrete legacies of their habitation.
