						Buckingham, Arthur William, 28 Aug 1911, aged 15, Driver, he was coining out with a set of full tubs, and was turning a corner to come into the landing when the horse "crossed over", deceased who was walking at the side ran to the horse's head to lead him back to the centre of the road, but the horse trod on his foot and it is supposed that in his efforts to free himself he fell under the tubs; the horse had been idle for some days and was probably more restive than usual; deceased died the same afternoon as a result of shock from haemorrhage
						Cubitt, William, 10 Nov 1904, aged 25, Filler, while filling a tub with ironstone and shale in the face of a working place, a piece of dogger fell from the roof and killed him

						Pearson, Harry, 22 Dec 1909, aged 18, Filler, He, with his mate, was filling in a place where the roof broke down two baulks set to support it. The baulks were 3 feet 8 inches apart and 5 feet from the face. The place was 14 feet wide. It is probable that the shots fired in the place had shaken the dogger roof and had caused it to settle down suddenly and displace the baulks
