![]() https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HM_Prison_Haverigg The lagoon in front of the two bright blue lights was an Iron ore mine, which in it's day produced some of the best hematite ore in the world, I am told tunnels from that pit went up to 6 miles out under the sea but the cost of pumping outweighed the returns on the ore, so despite there being a vast reserve to good ore under there they switched off the pumps and we probably now import the iron. http://www.millomrockpark.org.uk/html/millom__mining___money.html The lagoon is now a nature reserve.
