| Description | |
|
|
On the 22nd of May, Thomas Evans, the certificated manager of the Bryncethin Colliery, belonging to the Barrow Steel and Iron Co., was killed whilst engaged at the bottom of the shaft, by the ascending water barrel being overwound and falling down upon him. This accident was fairly attributable to the carelessness of the deceased himself in allowing the engineer to work the engine when he was engaged at the bottom of the shaft, and also to the engineer in doing so.
