Historic Bramwell, WestVirginia - 1888.
This view of HistoricBramwell in March 1888 is five years after the opening of the first coal mine in the Pocahontas coalfield at nearby Pocahontas,Virginia. Bramwell experienced a rapid growth in those early days but only a few years after this photo was taken a disastrous fire virtually destroyed most of the buildings shown here. |
