Malcolm Lowry Dérive: Exploring the regional conditions that led to the Lowry's extended residency in Dollarton we turn to the mill site itself. Reachable only by ship, the town of Dollar was constructed to house the hundreds of workers who kept the timber rolling from 1918 until the early 1940's. Malcolm would have been well aware of the mill, treading to the foundations of the old burner, crawling in for the view, or looking on at its infernal shadow.
The top image below gives view of the mill at peak capacity, and at bottom is a photo of the log dump in Union Bay where giants were felled, rolled, afloat.
