Description

The Huntly Town Hall was built on the pithead of Ralph's mine, which had been closed after the Ralph's Mine disaster disaster in 1914, and was officially opened on 21 June 1927. A marble plaque commemorating the Ralph's Mine disaster was set into one wall of the new building. The town hall was demolished in 1978, but when a branch of the Bank of New Zealand was opened on the site, the memorial plaque was transferred to the northern wall of the bank (pictured).
