13 November 1930: Miner Fatally Crushed - Yesterday at Craigend Colliery, Maddiston, near Falkirk, John Henderson, miner, 10 Standburn Rows, by Avonbridge, was engaged in shovelling coal at the face of No.1 Pit when a large piece of stone, weighing about 10 cwts, became dislodged from the roof, crushing him in its fall. He was speedily removed to the pithead, where he was found to have expired. [Scotsman 14 November 1930]
