The precise location of the mine needs to be found. 

Description


Holly Country is located in South Africa

The settlement, located some 5 km from Sasolburg, is a former colliery, and was originally named Coalbrook, probably named after Coalbrookdale in England. It was the scene of a major disaster on 21 January 1961; 435 workers were buried alive when the mine collapsed.[3]
