William Marling

| Died: | 17th Dec 1924 |
| Accident: | 17th Dec 1924 9.30 a.m., 6th hour of shift |
| Year Born: | abt. 1906 |

| Company: | Wallsend and Hebburn Coal Co., Ltd. |
| Occupation: | Datal Boy |
| Notes: | Deceased was standing between the rails at the end of a conveyor, levelling off tubs, with his back towards a full set which was rapped away. The set was drawn back to liberate an overladen tub, which was rubbing a baulk, and this was done without deceased being notified by the landing lad. The full set pinned him against the end of the conveyor pans and he sustained injuries from which he died later the same day. The signal wire was connected to a prop 15 yards away from the conveyor end, making it impossible to transmit signals from the conveyor end to the haulage engine |
