17 July 1921: Two Children Killed at Coatbridge - A pathetic discovery was made at Rosehall No.1 Colliery, near Coatbridge, on Saturday, It wad found that two children; Agnes Baird and Eliza Boyle Baird, 7 years and 9 months and 2 years old respectively, had been crushed to death by a loaded hutch, which had run over them. The children were daughters of Mr Andrew Baird, blacksmith, 10 Rosehall Cottages and had wandered onto the haulage line where the endless chain operates the full and empty hutches, and they had been run down, unobserved by anyone. [Scotsman 18 July 1921]
