The Tip

A Memory of Hollingwood.

Does anyone remember the Tip and Mount Pud with the cave at the top? This wonderland was at the bottom of Hollingwood but it's all cleared now. We used to play there all the time. There were hard rainbow coloured stones which we I used to collect. Anyone know how the place came about? I suspect it may have been a tipping point for some Staveley Works operation. I remember the "Prefabs" down towards the station too. Did you know there was a colliery down near the station back in the 19th century? I'm trying to find out as much as I can about Hollingwood but only have the internet to help as I now live in Melbourne, Australia.
