Bralorne, considered a ghost town.
With the building of a gold mine also comes the building of a community. Through the great years of the gold mining era in the Bridge River Valley, company businesses were formed, like the cook house, the company store, the post office and drug store. As the community grew, so did the need for services such as the hospital, medical clinic and the volunteer fire department. The mine built bunkhouses for the single miners and houses for married workers. Several small town sites such as Honeymoon Hollow, Coconut Grove and Poison Flats to name a few, were arranged along the main road through town.
