2282 | c1936 | Location of the mine. |
Shepherds Creek, in the western slope of the terrace between Long Alex and Pigroot Gullies. Approximately 486m south from the Gully Road, Bannockburn-Nevis road intersection. The outline of the portal is still visible, however it has been closed off. |
2283 | c1936 | Name of the mine. |
The mine may have had an individual name, however none is known - hence the 'Shepherds Creek Mine' name |
2284 | c1936 | General Note |
(From the memories of Mr C Scott of Cromwell) It appears that location #184 may have been opened up by John Hodson (2) (Jack). He worked the mine for between 12 and 18 months. Bill Crabbe, (Sandy) Alex Robertson & Theo Toms worked for Jack Hodson in the mine. The coal from this mine may have been separated from the main seam by faults and worked out in a relatively short time. The main portal is still visible. The main drive was a decline of 1 in 3, however no records of the underground working have come to the authors notice at this time. However, aerial photo flight SN533, photo G/28 shows number of sink holes in the area of the mine, indicating where the ground has collapsed due to the removal of coal. |
