HISTORY PHOTO OF THE WEEK: This 1920 photo is of a Centralia plant that manufactured briquettes from coal dust using a petroleum-based binder. It was located in the vicinity of what is now the 1100 block of J and K streets in Centralia. The plant was in operation during the early 1920s and was run by a man known as "King" Kenny and his brother. The third man from the left in this photo is Sutton Nunn. Nunn was born in England in the town of Sutton and worked at the time at the plant. He came to Centralia by way of Canada and married Elsie Wright Nunn. The couple had three children they raised in Centralia. Nunn descendants remain in the area. This photo and information was originally submitted by Jim Nunn, grandson of Sutton Nunn, for The Chronicle’s Our Hometowns books.
