Description

The Gresford Colliery, owned by the United Westminster and Wrexham Collieries, Limited, is situated near the village of Gresford, about two and a half miles north of Wrexham, Denbighshire. The mine has two shafts, namely: the downcast known as the "Dennis", and the upcast known as the "Martin". Coal was wound at the Dennis, and materials sent down the Martin shaft. Men were lowered and raised in both shafts.

The sinking of these shafts was commenced in 1908 and coal was first wound in June, 1911; the mine was therefore not a mine "newly opened" within the meaning of the Coal Mines Act, 1911, and consequently the provisions of Section 42 (1) of the Coal Mines Act, 1911, requiring the provision of two main intake airways for each seam did not apply.

A total of about 2,200 persons were employed at the mine; 1,850 below ground and 350 above ground.

Three seams were worked, namely. Main, Crank and Brassey, but at the time of the explosion the workings in the Brassey Seam were idle.

Gresford, Wrexham: sunk 1912, largest pit in North Wales, modernised, depth 740 yds.; 1,520 men prod. 341,000 tons Main. Quaker Seams.
