In the 18702 the new Wallsend Coal Mining Company began mining close to the water's edge at the southern part of the Bay. By 1873 a number of good weatherboard shingled cottages existed. When the mining venture collapsed in 1880 the housing stock was purchased, dismantled and re-erected at entrance of Lake Macquarie.
