Details of Event
18 February 1935: Miner's Death Through Injury - An accident in an East Stirlingshire pit had a fatal sequel yesterday, when a miner died as the result of injuries. He was David Brown, drawer, who resided at 44 Longdyke, by Falkirk, and it appears that while he was entering the cage at the bottom of the main coal seam in Carronhall Colliery, owned by Carron Company, he received injury to his head in contact with the cage. Brown died in Falkirk and District Royal Infirmary. [Scotsman 19 February 1935]
