Codling, Isaac, 23 Jul 1910, (accident: 13 Jul 1910), aged 20, Miner, A piece of shale fell from the roof on to him whilst engaged in filling a waggon. He was seriously injured and died of pneumonia ten days later

Cook, Joseph, 10 Apr 1918, aged 54

Harrison, Francis, 16 Aug 1920, aged 45, died from injuries received

Tose, David, 23 Jul 1914, (accident: 22 Aug 1913), aged 34, Miner, Deceased died on 23rd July, 1914, from injuries to the spine incurred on 22nd August, 1913. On that date at the very commencement of the shift he proceeded to bore a shot-hole before examining the roof above where he was working. While so doing a piece of shale 3 feet by 2 feet 6 inches, and 4 inches thick, which was overhanging from the face fell and struck him on the back. The accident was due entirely to neglect of the primary precaution, which should be over present in a miner's mind, to examine the working place immediately before commencing work in it, as is provided for in General Regulation 6.
