When electric ‘bottle’ lamps by Davis of Derby, Oldham, Swan and Ceag of Barnsley came into use in the early 1930’s miners still needed oil lamps to test for gas, the bottle lamp was an extra 3 kgs to carry #mininghistory #minerslamps

Today we remember the ten #coalminers who died and one seriously injured in the 1979 Golborne Colliery disaster. One of our #volunteers has created an overlay of the underground area. Red line/air return, blue line/air intake. Casualties were found within the black circle area.

Remembering those who lost their lives in the Hapton Valley Colliery explosion in 1962. 16 men were killed, three later died from their injuries, 13 seriously injured. Read more about what happened from Northern Mine Research Society ⌨️➡️ nmrs.org.uk/mines-map/acci… #Lancashire #coalmining

Some collieries were situated in unlikely places. Scaitcliffe Colliery in Accrington town centre was sunk c 1859, closing 1962. Avoiding subsidence damage was a challenge! #mininghistory #Accrington #Lancashire
