15 Jan 1902 | High Burn (Sandstone) | Kearney, James, aged 26, Labourer, A wooden gangway extended from a point where baring waa being removed for some distance into the quarrt to a disused part where the baring wan tipped from small wagons running on rails laid on the gangway. A light wire rope, supported at intervals, extended at a height of 3 feet along each side of the gangway and acted as a fence. Deceased and another man were bringing forward a loaded wagon, and are said to have been going too fast. The wagon jumped the rails and fell distance of 40 feet to the bottom of the quarry, carrying both men with it. The jury recommended a stronger fence. |

13 Jan 1898 | Killingworth Colliery Railway | Keir, Stephen, Cartman, He was passing along the highway at Wallsend with his cart when he was run over at the level crossing of the private railway running from Killingworth Colliery to the staithes by a set of full waggons. For some reason the watchman had left his post, and the jury brought in a verdict to the effect — "That the accident occurred through the defective system of the signalling, watching and lighting at the said crossing, and with a view of protecting the public against similar accidents in future, the jury strongly recommend that the owners of the railway take immediate steps for improving the same." |
