AND
1925 - Old Ahaura Gold Dredge boiler on railway wagon, having being taken from the Ahaura Dredge and transported to the Ahaura Railway Station/Yard.

If you look behind the Traction Engine you will see the railway house lived in by the Garraways at the time.

I wonder if Grandad Lucas popped in for a cupper that day!

Looking the the wagon, it has Coalgate written in chalk, maybe the Dredge was being wrecked and they had sold the boiler to one of the coal mines.Date of Photo1925Map^[1]Contributor Wayne Garraway
