Important as the site concerned with notorious mine company float and collapse.

History

The Golden Hole at Londonderry sparked one of the greatest gold share failures of the goldrushes; a salted mine was onsold to Lord Fingall and others who floated the Londonderry mine base on a £700,000 capitalisation. The mine proved of little value and the shares plummeted.
