What remains
No structures remain at this site, but a number of machinery items are still present. The boiler with fluted
stack, compressor with fancy curved spoke flywheels, double drum hoist, spoked pulley, fancy steam fittings, and a number
other bits of metal.
A number of buildings once sat on this flat surface,
but have long ago disappeared.
More information on the Prince of Wales
will be added to this site.
