Abstract

Concern at the environmental effects of coal production and use is not new. As long ago as 1257, the English Queen Eleanor is reported to have left Nottingham as a result of smoke from coal-burning and, in 1306, the practice was banned on pain of death by Royal proclamation — apparently without success. Control measures were introduced in many European countries during the centuries which followed, and conditions were sometimes attached to mining leases — as with an English colliery of 1791, whose responsibility for reclamation was specified in considerable detail, such as an instruction that the land be‘sown with Rye grass seeds’.1
