Newcastle Coal Mines

No. 2 Mine Site -- Worker Village

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

This is a view of the mine buildings, including the hoist house in the lower left corner.  In addition, you can see the stables and part of the mine village for "colored" workers in the distance.

Look for 3 hotspots on the image to see more details -- be sure to get the "enlarge" button in the new window.

Note the cable in the across the foreground of the picture -- carried on supports with a large pulley.  The cable goes to the tipple and into the mine, some distance away to the right.
