Why the box is on its side for those that dont know, is so when the box at the coal face is fllled the trucker takes it out to the winch and the miners sit the box thats on the side, back on the tracks and take it into the face to fill. Only took coup… See more

Bill Stephenson thanks for sharing that info Bill. Interesting .

The size of the box might help identify the mine my mate Vern Pattinson knows the differences hopefully he will chime in for my money they look like the smaller ones so not Dobson Rewanui or Strongman

Jock Allen
Not Blackball Mine as we had wooden boxes 13cwt when full

Hard to pick where this is. The boxes have no limmer eye on the front, which excludes the Denniston mines. The ribs (walls) visible are concrete block and the roof support is steel rails, which suggests that it may be an overcast (air-crossing). It looks like the guy on the top left is wearing a plastic helmet which puts the timing of this photo post 1964.
