    3. You wrote Hi Listers Hoping to find out any info on an old Bendigo mine, the Nell Gwynn Central. My great grandfather Thomas Rosewarne managed it for some time. Presume it was in the late 1800 to early 1900s. Tried Google with no results. Cheers Janine Dale Mitta Valley Vic Hello Janine, The Central Nell Gwynne mine was just off Victoria Hill in Bendigo and is marked today by the steel Poppet Legs which are still standing. It was one of the last mines to close on the Bendigo Gold-field. We have a photograph of the miners and management including Mr Jack Stanistreet at the mine the day they declared their first dividend There are still two Poppet legs standing in the area the other being the famous Victoria Quartz mine which in it's time (1910) was the deepest mine in the world. You will see it plainly if you drive out Marong Road. Best wishes...Tom and Libby.
