I found more on the Allan explosions here http://museum.gov.ns.ca/moi/en/home/whattoseedo/coalandgrit/bloodandvalour.aspx and apparently the mine is still giving the good folks of Stellarton a hard time http://www.ngnews.ca/Business/Freight-industry/2009-11-09/article-799031/Town-officials-in-Stellarton-ponder-mystery-of-growing-sinkhole/1.Fake Natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06339474807128136055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415566407782594260.post-3283581130113595842011-11-09T19:42:44.779-06:002011-11-09T19:42:44.779-06:00I love the picture and the story it tells.
