Totley Township, Heritage mining site in Charters Towers Region, Australia.
The remnants of mining infrastructure include a steel headframe, engine shed, and machinery foundations across a 50-meter square area in Queensland's mining district.
Richard King established the first silver mine in 1881, leading to the formation of Ravenswood Silver Mining Company Limited with capital of £60,000 in 1882.
The streets of Totley Township, surveyed in 1886, received names honoring the King family who managed the local mining operations for several decades.
The Great Extended Mine shaft reached 209 meters deep and operated during two main periods: from 1883 to 1890 and again from 1947 to 1964.
The steel headframe standing over the mine represents the only asymmetrical steel headframe structure documented in North Queensland's mining history.
