The City of London gold mine is a few hundred metres south-west of the Kiora mine, about 50 kilometres north of Coolgardie.
It was floated by the Gresham Syndicate with a 5 head battery, and a shaft to 300 feet, however they failed to strike the reef. Various prospectors tried their luck over the years. Probably the most notable was Tom Parkes in the early 1930's. Tom had worked in the mine when owned by the syndicate around the turn of the century. He was said to have been a star player in the Coolgardie Rovers football club. He went to Pingelly as a dairy farmer.
When the Depression hit, he purchased an old bus, and took himself, wife and nine children back to the mine. The men worked underground while his wife and girls operated the shakers.
