Robert Bell

Age:   55
Died:   25th Jul 1903
Accident:   2nd Jun 1903
Year Born:   abt. 1848
Colliery:   Bedlington
Company:   Bedlington Coal Co., Ltd.
Occupation:   Hewer
Notes:  
This accident was not reported until July 22. Deceased was working alone in a wide bord in the Five Quarter seam when some coal fell from the face and broke his leg while he was starting a hole for a shot. The accident happened at 5.30 a m and he was able to crawl back to his clothes, where he was found by the deputy at 7.30 a.m. He was removed to the surface and taken home, and progressed favourably until June 18, when pleurisy and pneumonia set in. The manager at first "did not consider it a serious accident," but here I think he was wrong, and that an accident causing a broken leg should have been reported at once.
Buried:   [not known]
