Newcastle Coal Mines

No. 2 Mine Site

This image is an O.V. Hunt picture provided by Ted McCormack.

This is a side view of the mine tipple and plant, looking to the north.  The mine entrance is to the left, and the coke ovens are located on the other side of this structure to the north.

Look for 2 hotspots on the image to see more details -- be sure to get the "enlarge" button in the new window.

On the left detail, look for two workers on the tipple.  

On the right detail, look for the two men in panama hats and necties -- could they be McCormack and Ramsey?  Just above and to the left of these men, look at the large pulley that carries the hoist cable over to the hoist house, located some distance away, one of a series of elevated supports with pulleys.
