Here is presented a collection of newspaper articles about coal mining and associated topics that have been provided to us. Most of the current collection of articles have been kindly provided by a relative who have been researching their family history and have found mention of an ancestor in the local press - usually concerning a fatality.

We would welcome any further articles that you may wish to contribute.

The index to the articles is available in two sequences :–

• By Date
• By Colliery

In this section we provide an index to the names mentioned in the text of the articles we have reproduced on this site (see menu on left). This index includes all the names mentioned in the text and they are listed as they are spelled in the original article!

Use the index tab (above) to select the first letter of the surname that you require.

We have no wish to infringe the copyright of any newspaper or periodical. If you feel that we have done so then please contact us with the details and we will remove the article.
