Newcastle Coal Mines

No. 2 Mine Site -- Workers Village

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

This view not only shows the nature of the "colored" workers housing c. 1925, but it also shows some detail of the location of the railroad and public road to Newcastle in the distance.  One thing that has not been spotted is the "colored" church -- the author would appreciate hearing from anyone knowing that location.

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