The Centennial Mine was discovered around the early 1930s and
was worked extensively until the 1950s. The battery was erected in
1934, at which time it is believed this hut was also erected. The hut
was used as sleeping quarters for the miners and also cookhouse for men
engaged to work at the mine. It contained a double bunk and a single
stretcher bed, a 'crude' kitchen table and an open stone and iron
fireplace. The floor was of timber planks, with bush pole frame
construction, lined in tar paper and clad with corrugated iron. |
