A very recommended site -mainly for places is Germany is:

Very strange feelings I had in 2006, when we visited that village:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otzenrath
It's one of the villages East of Cologne, which were broken down for big coal-exploitations in the last decades. It was frightenend, when you walk in villages, where the houses were empty and the windows closed with bricks. But in a very few houses still people were living.
After the buildings, the streets (even the Autobahn A 44) and all other things were cracked down, the whole nature, trees, bushes, fields and even the ground were scrapped off.
Then comes the huge coal-digger and after some years nothing more is left than a big hole.
Everything we've seen in 2006, was destroyed one year later.
