Rockies Westport Granity Coalmine Ltd Bullers Little Known Mine and Incline is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Here is one of Buller’s best kept secrets. Situated between Millerton and Denniston, the Westport Granity Coal Mines Ltd constructed an incline of 1.3 kilometres long up a cliff face to the coal deposits situated on the coastal escarpment. At 564
meters high, the incline consisted of four separate jigs and was worked on the gravity principal of loaded trucks running down the incline pulling empties up. The brainchild of Carl Roskvist, the mining operation delivered over 177,000 tons of high quality coal during its formative operation between 1925 and
1935. The remaining coal reserve and later day opencast production is also covered.
