Denniston township and the head of the incline
Denniston township and the head of the incline
The incline runs from the centre of photograph down to the right. At the head of the incline are the industrial buildings and bins of the transfer station and offices. On the far right, just to the right of the town centre, are the miners' hall, hotel and church (the last with tall gothic windows). In the far distance by the strip of light-coloured road by the gully are the bathhouse and power generation plant. Thirteen million tons of coal were taken through this town over its 100-year existence. The photograph was taken in 1947.
