Names of those killed at this colliery
Please note that this collection of names is by no means complete!
 | Chamberlaine, Thomas, 12 Feb 1914, aged 42, Clay getter, The clay face at which the deceased was at work contained beds of stratified shale. Two days prior to the accident a shot had dislodged a large quantity of clay. Blocks of shale were embedded in the soft clay. The deceased, who was working alone, had been filling the loose clay from under one of the blocks until a portion of it fell away, slid 9 feet down the loose clay, and caught and pushed him against an iron tub which he had filled. The blocks of shale ought to have been worked down from above and not by undermining | |||||
| Hubbard, James Edward, 25 Apr 1924, 11.0 a.m., 5th hour of shift, aged 34, Clay Getter, The clay face at which the deceased was at work was 15 ft. deep. Two and a half hours prior to the accident he fired a shot, which had dislodged a large quantity of clay but had left the top portion of the face overhanging. This portion the deceased attempted to bar down, but failed to remove it. He and another worker were filling the loose clay at the bottom of the face, when without warning a large fall of clay occurred, a portion of which caught the deceased and pinned him against the tub he was loading, causing injuries which resulted in his death almost immediately | |||||
