Talk:Rothbury, New South Wales

Is Rothbury or North Rothbury the location of the shootings, mine and memorial?
From the Monuments Australia page for the memorial and other things it seems that the memorial is actually located in North Rothbury. Because the memorial claims to be at the site of the Riot, and the shootings took place while the miners were trying to rush the gates of the Rothbury Colliery, presumably that means that the colliery, the place of the bloodshed and the memorial actually all are or were in North Rothbury not Rothbury itself? I suppose there are a few possible explanations: But I don't know of any evidence for or against any of these. Would someone local, or anyone, be able to say?

 * Rothbury and North Rothbury were both part of one bigger, continuous settlement called Rothbury in 1929
 * The two were distinct villages in 1929 as well, but because the colliery was called the "Rothbury Colliery" and "Rothbury" on its own is a snappier name the event just became known as the "Rothbury Riot"
 * In 1929 there was a mine at what is now North Rothbury but there were no homes or few homes, and the area only got its own settlement with a separate name and identity later
