John William Williams
| Age: | 17 |
| Died: | 30th Oct 1912 |
| Accident: | 30th Oct 1912 |
| Year Born: | abt. 1895 |
| Colliery: | Whateley |
| Company: | Kingsbury Collieries, Ltd. |
| Occupation: | Driver |
| Notes: | Deceased was taking three full tubs out-bye from the stall. For a distance of 50 yards the road dipped out-bye ½ inch per yard, and for this distance one locker was usually used to steady the tubs. For the next 63 yards the dip is 3¼ inches per yard, and three additional lockers are required. Sling gears are used and the drivers are forbidden to ride on the tail-chain. Deceased was found under the first tub at the bend at the bottom of the gate-road. No lockers were found in the wheels. He had apparently started from the stall riding on tail-chain and without lockers ; the pony went past the usual lockering place, and as there was not sufficient space between the tubs and side for deceased to get off, he had to continue on the chain. Stop blocks have since been fixed at the lockering place |
