A better clearer one showing Slag Heap 1955

The houses are Coniston Ave over Campbell Park Rd and Windermere Cres going off towards the Slag Heap.
If you look closely there is a 'dot' ontop of the Heap which was a Cylinderical thick steel container with a door & a slot for looking out. It might have been leftover from WW2 where military viewed the skies for German Bombers?
As young lads me & my mates saw it & it was 4 or 5ft diameter & maybe 7 or 8 ft tall.
