4 February 1927: Scottish Pit Fatalities – A fatal accident at Messrs James Nimmo & Company's No.23 Pit, Redding, near Falkirk, was reported to the Falkirk police yesterday. It appears that Alexander Gibb, a pithead worker, 67 years of age, and residing at Redding, was attending to a dross conveyor when he accidentally got caught in the machinery. Gibb was so severely injured that he died soon afterwards. [Scotsman 5 February 1927]
