One of the hewers was thrown out of the cage at Hartley Colliery in consequence of some misunderstanding between the waiter-on at the top and the people at bottom of the shaft concerning the stoppers at the yard seam.

There is mention of John Herron (Heron) receiving compensation from The Hartley Pit Disaster. My great grandfather was John Heron and I can't find anything more about him. Thank you |
