	Iron Ore Mines of Bell Island: Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage
		The Pitt family opened a brickyard on Bell Island in 1848, and the Rees family operated a shipyard on the island, in Lance Cove, for a period during the 1800s.
		However, for Bell Island, as elsewhere, the move away from a small-scale, diversified local economy based on a number of industries, toward a single-resource economy based on an industry which extracts and exports a non-renewable resource, carries with it obvious consequences.
		Buildings on the island display a series of large murals depicting various facets of mining history, and plans are underway to renovate and re-open one of the mines as a tourist attraction.
