UK Coal Mining Accidents and Deaths 1900-1991 (1500-1899 coming shortly)
This database was compiled from data supplied mainly by Ian Winstanley, with additions from Ray Lawrence, NMRS Records and others
DEDICATION
This work stands as a testament to the men, women and children who worked the mines of Great Britain and to their families.
The work created a bond of trust and loyalty amongst them and a band of comradeship that forged the communities in which they lived and worked. It is a record of the true price of coal.
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM
