  It is historic being one if the first concrete structures in the area but it is fenced off so you cant go near it. There is a trail nearby so you can go for a walk.

  Another easy hike close to Nanaimo, with the added historical attractions. Remember to take the trail behind the massive concrete structure, it's loaded with interesting ruins and information plaques.

  A mine once worked here from long pasted.In 1913 it was closed down.A message board states the wages were $3.30 a day.Child labour was long abolished but boys as young as 12 laboured in the mine shafts.The area is now a park with a good trail on part of a old service road to the river,that abruptly ends.A trail should have been cut to the river for easy accesses as this would be the attraction to use the park more.Someone not thinking

  Walking about the place seemed strange,as I looked the place over you get a scene of life gone pasted you.The area had ghost like feeling.I wonder how children slave laboured for little to no wages.A raven clacked at me many times,then a owl hooted out something,I'm not sure what he wanted.
