About this image

DescriptionSomething you dont often see, timber sets with one leg.They have picked one end into the coal.I think because they pull coal out here and the rope would rub on the legs and if the boxes come off they would take the leg out,there is a roller frame on the left .8 mile this mine closed 1964.Date of Photo1964Map^[1]ContributorMoe Bowes

Hassans Mine 8 mile, they pulled the boxes out to the top of their bins this way and had side rollers as it was a good curve

Graeme Campbell
Remember called needling and putting leg into rib to stop rope running against it, in really good rib conditions you could get away without the leg

A page from my 8 mile book at the Hassons mine, with the late Bill Hargreaves a popular guy.
Image may contain: 1 person, text that says 'Keepoat Beadu each cur eye's 1980s Bill Hargreaves has left message for guy who had been helping himself to coal from Hasson' Gibby took the proto crew and they boarded the entrance up as an exercise.Later someone on loader covered it with debris. This the mine entrance that Bill Hargreaves was standing in front of 2016'
