Description

As the title suggests, this book focuses on the accidents that befell the coal miners of the East Bristol and South Gloucestershire coalfields. Chapters 4 and 5 (entitled ‘Killed in a Coalpit’ and ‘Some Lucky Escapes?’ respectively) provide an alphabetical list of the miners involved in accidents and a description of their injuries. Chapter 6 (entitled ‘Heroes: For Each One Rescued, A Rescuer’) tells the story of their rescuers who were not prepared to let their mates ‘bide there and die’.
