At Moor House Quarry, Northumberland, a quarryman was working on a ledge 4 ft. wide and 5 ft. from the bottom of the quarry, when a small stone fell from the face striking his forehead. He fell from the ledge fracturing his left leg and he died from his injuries 16 days later. The quarry face, which was about 40 ft. high, had been regularly inspected by the foreman and there was no evidence to show from what height the stone had fallen.
