Newcastle Coal Mining and Government Mines, 1796-1820s

DescriptionThere is confusion about the early coal mines of Newcastle and although the Australian Agricultural Company mines are well documented there is little research on the government coal mines (particularly the shafts) that were worked from the early 1800s up until the late 1820s on ‘the Hill’. The Hill refers to the area we know today as King Edward Park and the James Fletcher Hospital. The following article pulls together sources associated with these early years to gain a better understanding of Australia’s first working coal mines.SubjectCoal minesNewcastle, NSWCoal miningCreatorHardy, AnnCollectionHunter Living Histories Last edited by: lyn.keily@newcastle.edu.au
