| | |  | | | | Burns, John, 21 Jan 1890, 2 p.m., aged 22, Collier, Inspection made and inquest attended. He was working at the face when a stone fell from between the slips and caught him. The pack was 3 feet from the face |
| | |  | | | | Farrimond, James, 03 Apr 1908, aged 71, Dataller, When he was engaged assisting the jigger the link of the tightening chain broke, and the movable carriage and pulley got drawn down fatally injuring deceased. One of the empty sets had struck the pulley, apparently through jigging the sets too fast, which accounted for the link breaking |
| | |  | | | | Harrison, John, 11 Jul 1907, aged 14, Haulage-hand, The lashing chain attaching a set of empty tubs to the haulage rope got loose, and the tubs running back fatally crushed deceased |

| | |  | | | | Leigh, William, 18 Dec 1913, aged 28, Collier, Deceased was engaged getting down top dirt at the coal face, when a large fall of roof 14 feet 6 inches by 5 feet by 5 feet thick occurred and buried him. The fall came away from a slip running along the face coal, and broke off at a line of props 5 feet 6 inches from the face. It displaced one prop, and it would appear that the regulation propping distances had been exceeded at the place of accident, although the timbering was in order at the time of the fireman's visit three hours previous |
| | |  | | | | Mosley, Frank, 15 Dec 1905, aged 31, Collier, Inspection made. A stone fell upon him from the roof from just over a prop, at the entrance to his road. There was a crunch, or sudden weighting of the roof, which probably accounted for the stone falling |
