William Jackson, 28, and several unemployed miners were getting small coal from an old pit heap near Handen Hold Colliery on 15th September. They had sunk a hole 16 feet deep and after working for two days began to withdraw timbering and fill in the hole. Jackson, who was standing on the edge, suddenly slid forward into the hole and was buried up to his neck, a further fall covered him completely. His brother Graham Jackson together with Thomas Oliver and Arthur Evans attempted to rescue him but the sides continually collapsed. He was found to be dead when taken out.
