Details of Event
He was bringing two full tubs outbye along the main road to the landing, when a large piece of dogger fell from the roof on to him and killed him. There is a fault or hitch near to, and this may have had something to do with the roof falling the mine officials thought the fall was due to the hot weather affecting the air going into the mine.
