18 April 1924: Boy Killed at Refuse Bing - Thomas Steel (10), son of a miner residing at Fallin, near Stirling, was killed while gathering coals from the refuse bing at Bandeath colliery. He had lain down in front of a bogey in order to get at a piece of coal when the bogey, which was electrically controlled, moved forward and went over him. [Scotsman 21 April 1924]
