Rosedale powder stores

The remains of the explosives stores at Rosedale East Mines. The hollow on the left would be the main gunpowder store, surrounded by earth banks to minimise the impact of any explosion. The remains of the building on the right were the office where miners would buy their daily gunpowder and candles before venturing into the mines for their shift. The building’s original vaulted brick roof can be seen in the photo below
