Humberstone Mine
Before it was annexed by the City of Edmonton in 1961, the town of Beverly was one of Alberta’s many coal mining communities. The Humberstone Mine, which operated near present-day Rundle Park Golf Course, was one of the largest mines in Beverly. During its thirty-four years in operation, the mine extracted nearly 1 million tons of coal from the earth.
The Humberstone mine was a major employer in Beverly and helped drive development in the town. Although it closed in 1934, the mine remains central to Beverly’s history and is a fitting subject for a virtual exhibit celebrating Beverly’s one hundredth anniversary.
