Pumpherston is a small dormitory village in West Lothian, Scotland. Originally a small industrial village to the nearby shale mine and works, it now adjoins the new town of Livingston, which was constructed alongside Pumpherston in the late 1960s and quickly grew much larger than its neighbours. ==History== The history ''Pumpherston, the story of a shale oil village'' 〔 〕 was commissioned by BP and collated and edited by local area historian Sybil Cavanagh. This book acknowledges a previous history by a Mr Vic Armstrong. Both books are out of print as of 2009. The specific oil shale retort, invented in 1894 and marking the separation of the oil shale industry from the coal industry, is named after the village.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pumpherston」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
