- Details of Event
- Deceased and another man were struck above the sides of a double roadway 13ft wide between sidewalls. As a normal journey was being hauled in by the tail rope the framing sprang out of the walls without either of the baulks of timber first used on the night of the 20th although they had withstood the strain of the 20th and 21st, it appears probable that the mortar, used in walling in the baulks had not properly set. The mortar was made with hydraulic lime.
