15 November 1920: Fatal accident at Stirling - John M'Gibbon (61), residing at Craigmill, Stirling, has met his death in the course of his employment at Manor Powis colliery. He was an attendant at the briquette conveyor, and after putting the bolt on the slack pulley and stopping the machinery, he entered the conveyor in order to clean it. While thus engaged the machinery, from some cause, was set in motion, and M'Gibbon was drawn into the iron box and seriously injured. He was taken to Stirling Royal Infirmary, where he died.
