Elmer Lane roundhouse, Greymouth

About this image

DescriptionLooking towards Greymouth from the roof of the Elmer Lane roundhouse, Easter 1968.
It must have been later in life that I developed a disike of heights as, on the same day I took this I also went all the way up the iron ladder to the top of the coal hopper you can see in the distance to take a pic facing this way. I don't expect children are allowed to climb high things like that anymore.Date of Photo1968Map^[1]Contributor Steve Fitz-Gerald‎
