Commercial Street, original site of "The Huts".

I took this photograph in May 2008 from the approximate position that the photograph taken by W. Benton from the Explosion series, depicting the miners housing known as "The Huts" would have been shot from (although I could not back up sufficiently to precisely replicate the perspective as the area landscape has been altered).  See the 1913 Explosion Gallery #13 for comparison.
