7 April 1936: Stirlingshire Pit Fatality - John Collins, machineman, who resided at Letham Terrace, Carronshore, was killed while at work in Barleyside Colliery near Falkirk, yesterday. It appears that Collins was engaged at a coal-cutting machine when he encountered some obstacle, and was caught in the cutting wheel. He was killed instantaneously. [Scotsman 8 April 1936]
