LOT 79 Gracious Street, Burra, South Australia.
Description
This was an English style township, a private township named after an assayer at the Smelting Works, Edward Hampton.
It contained 30 simple miners' cottages and a Bible Christian Chapel.
Much of the stone quarried there was used in many of Burra's fine old buildings.
The township was abandoned finally in 1960.
Hampton is situated just north-east of the Redruth Gaol, on a hill, overlooking the mine area and its other townships.
