Details of Event
14 January 1916: Bowhill & Cardenden – Accident – William Peel, 50 South Street, met with an accident at Minto Colliery on Friday last, which though fortunately is not serious, might have had dire consequences. Peel was hanging on at the foot of a brae and when the hutch was drawn away from the brae foot his head was somehow caught between the hutch and bar. After attention at the colliery he was removed home in the ambulance waggon. [Lochgelly & Kelty News January 18 1916] Accident at Minto Pit – On Friday forenoon while at work in Minto Pit, a lad named William Peel, South Street, met with a rather serious accident, being caught between the roof and a hutch. He was badly jammed, and the worst fears were at first entertained; but the doctor who was soon in attendance, had him conveyed home in the ambulance, where we understand he is progressing favourably.
