Details of Event
12 July 1920: Accidents At Blairenbathie Colliery – Mungo Allan, residing at Adam's Terrace, Kelty, had a bad injury to his hand on Monday morning. He was just commencing his work, and was recovering a prop from a piece of coal when his foot slipped. Before he could steady himself the coal jammed his hand on the pavement. It was found necessary to put five stitches in the wound. Another accident occurred at Blairenbathie Colliery on Monday afternoon, when George Lowe received severe bruises to his back and head, by a fall of stone from the roof. On being removed to his house in the ambulance waggon and medically examined he was found to be suffering from the injury to his back, while his ear had to be stitched.
