On a recent visit to Avoca I noted that preservation work was well underway
on the Williams engine house stack, I spoke to the contractors on site who
stated their remit was preservation of the stack only. Is there any
information within this group as to any further plans with this site, ie is
it intended to go ahead with the proposals made previously, to create a
visitor's centre and possibly opening the mines to underground tours. It
seems a shame that such an accessable and historical site as this has
remained "Out of reach" for so many years.
