Details of Event
3 November 1916: Tollcross – Miner Killed – About midnight on Friday, Andrew Kyle, 46, a coal machineman, who resided at 263 Nuneaton Street, Glasgow, was fatally injured in Foxley Colliery, Tollcross. Kyle having made ready to start work signalled to his fellow worker to switch on the power. When this was done the machine instead of going forward, turned round, and Kyle was caught in the machinery. He was terribly mutilated about the body and died shortly after being taken to the pithead. [Airdrie & Coatbridge Advertiser 11 November 1916]
