Congratulations on placing this lovely photo in the Top Ten of the Decrepit Doors Challenge in the RUSTIC GROUP! 07 Nov 2008
It looks like an explosives storeroom from the old Western US mining boom from the 1800 and early 1900s. It just doesn’t have ‘EXPLOSIVES’ painted on it anywhere. Tunnels are usually closed off with fencing so bats can get in and out.
Stephen Rowsell replied
Thank you Dayonda!
Being along the route to Fort Amherst, I wouldn’t doubt for a second that at some point, munitions or explosives were indeed kept beneath southside harbour.
