Misleading statement of longevity
The article states that the mine opened in 1835 and that the last shift left on Dec 10, 1993, “ending over 80 years of coal mining...”.

Although “over 80 years” is technically correct, that’s not how we normally refer to a period spanning 158 years. TravelinTexan (talk) 00:09, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
