15 June 1925: Pit Accident – A sad accident took place in the surface mine at Lindsay Colliery on Monday, resulting in serious injury to Robert Bain (16), residing with his widow mother at Pearson's Buildings. The unfortunate lad had been employed at a conveyor run when his arm was drawn in between the belt and the roller. The machinery was speedily stopped and Bain removed to Dunfermline and West Fife Hospital suffering from compound fracture of the arm, dislocated shoulder, and serious injuries under the armpit.
