Named after its first postmaster, John S. Cochran, the small mining camp also served as a stop on the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix Railway. The post office was established on January 3, 1905, and was discontinued on January 15, 1915. At its peak, the town was home to approximately one hundred residents, and housed a general store and a boardinghouse, among other establishments.[1]
Apart from a few building foundations in the town center, and the train tracks that still run by the edge of the now-abandoned town site, Cochran's last and most notable remains are a set of five largely intact beehive coke ovens across the Gila River at Butte, Arizona.
The ovens were used in the early 1900s to make coke, a clean-burning fuel used in blast furnaces to produce iron ore. Coke was made by baking a mixture of different kinds of coal at high temperature without contact with air.
A year and six trips finally made it and it was well worth it! Very scenic 4 whlr trip and very ruff to :) I used my trusty Canon 7d on this trip. There was too much dust, too many rocks and just didn't want to take a chance on ruining my 1D on this trip so the pictures aren't quite as good as they might have been.

The coal extracted from the mines in Redstone Co was of such high quality it was perfect for converting to coke for the production of steel at the CF& I Steel Mill in Pueblo, CO. It make John Osgood a multi-millionaire in the late 1800s. The ovens were in operation 24 hours a day. Now they have been dormant since the 1950s and are under restoration.

I had a concept that I couldn't make work, I need a hairdresser, makeup artist and wardrobe. I told my husband about a few ideas I had but I needed a wide angle lens and he surprised me with an early anniversary present, a fisheye lens. Get ready for me to experiment with all of the fun distortion. Not quite what I wanted but it's a fun start.

The first morning of Daylight saving time making the most of the "extra" hour before sunrise.
Probably just me but the rock in the foreground kind of looks like an oven glove.
Specially selected by Messrs. Johnson and Farage. Get it done on 12th December 2019! Peas in our time!
Seen at Gladstone Pottery Museum in Stoke-on-Trent. This museum is really worth a visit as it's a fascinating place with good pottery demonstrations and great industrial revolution architecture. Here's a link with more information:- www.stokemuseums.org.uk/gpm/ This was a difficult photo to balance due to the bright blue sky/clouds and the dark brick bottle ovens/buildings.
