Blakeburn

Blakeburn is an abandoned locality in the Similkameen region of south central British Columbia, Canada.

[1] The former coal mining community is by road about 8 kilometres (5 mi) southwest of Coalmont.

In 1920, the aerial tramway at Boundary Falls was dismantled and transported to Coalmont,[2] where a 4-kilometre (13,110 ft) tramway was installed for connecting the mine site with the Coalmont tipple for shipping by rail.

[6] When the colliery closed in 1940,[7] the aerial tramway and other equipment were dismantled and sold.
