Details of Event
He was preparing to set some props to some bad roof under which he intended to build a pillar afterwards when a large stone fell from against a lype inflicting such injuries that he died five days later. A coal cutting machine had just cut past the place and it is thought that this threw on weight. The roadside building would have been erected under the stone the previous night had the brushers attended their work.
