whn - Wellington Terrace [HBM][HWW][HFF]

whn - Wellington Terrace  [HBM][HWW][HFF]
Part of Bella's "High Tide" walking route - up to the viewpoint and/or the Candlestick ...
Just along the path is the monument to the 147 Men & Boys killed in the 1910 Wellington Pit Disaster. This was an explosion, leading to fires and collapses underground. Sadly, many of the victims were never recovered and the affected areas were simply walled off.

(the temporary fencing is related to an unsightly building project, as is the lack of greens maintenance)
e2a & e2a2 &e2a3
The two HBM seats have a good view out over the outer harbour
The HWW is a significant retaining structure, including some long reinforcing bolts
The HFF - several fences, both along Wellington Terrace, and one up by The Candlestick
