Details of Event
14 February 1920: Accident At Lindsay Pit - Last Friday afternoon, while the engineers were working at the Lindsay pithead, one of their number had a lucky escape from serious injury. Working on a scaffold thirty feet high, Mr J. Young overbalanced himself and fell to the ground. On being conveyed home to his lodgings in Station Road by the ambulance waggon, he was examined by Dr Keay, who found that the worst of his injuries were confined to his arm and hand, along with shock.
