The one underground fatal accident occurred on 25th April at Fremington Edge Chert Mine belonging to Messrs. The Boulder Flint Company. The accident was due to the breaking of the timber supporting the roof in a working face. There was a clay back running parallel to the face, and no doubt this, acting as a loose end, allowed the roof to weight and break down the timber. Two men were injured, and one of them died on the fourth day after the accident.
