History at our place



we are fortunate to live in a wee town with lots of history and structures that have been left behind by miners and those that lived their lives here. Some would've experienced such hardships and cold...some sacrificed their limbs to thier livelihoods...some intentially cut off figers for insurance to feed their families or stake another turn on their claim. We are only scratching the surface with our meanderings...but here are a few pics of our recent 'finds'.
Some of the photos are from the Cornish Pump House and some are from the Old Battery

It's always interesting, sad and exciting to look at history and think of the people who made it. Hope we can leave good histories behind.

I love to think of all the stories and hiastory in such a place...those old walls could tell a tale I am sure.

I think there may be something wrong with your html: I've been automatically directed to a "mega site of bible studies" in the last few days. I thought I'd let you know in case it's not intentional.
