What remains

No structures remain at this site, but a number of machinery items are still present. The boiler with fluted stack, compressor with fancy curved spoke flywheels, double drum hoist, spoked pulley, fancy steam fittings, and a number other bits of metal.
 
A number of buildings once sat on this flat surface, but have long ago disappeared.
 
More information on the Prince of Wales will be added to this site.
