Detail from the old map of the Victoria Battery. The tramway is shown entering the site at bottom right, where it has already divided. The left-hand branch, in grey pencil on this map, makes its way to the stone breakers beyond left of this map. The right hand branch branches again, to the ECMT Railway sidings, the coal hoppers, engine sheds etc. The map also shows a turntable where the tramway meets the incline from the top of the kilns. The Government Railway (ECMT) reserve is shown in grey at top of map.
