Rogers coal mine

Rogers coal mine

Many of the private mines in the Seddonville area reworked areas where coal had been left in the ground by earlier mines. About 1984 Rogers mine opened a small opencast on the west bank of Chasm Creek in an area previously worked by Seddonville State Mine. A timbered drive, dating back to the State Coal Mine, can be seen in the foreground, but only a small part of the seam had been removed by earlier workings.
