Requirements: .ePUB reader, 616 KB
Overview: The High Brooks Colliery was situated at Ashton-in-Makerfield near Wigan. During the 1860’s accounts of accidents and dangerous occurrences appeared so often in the local press that it was referred to as ‘The Unfortunate Colliery’. During this time there were two serious underground fires, an entombment of men and two violent explosions.
The book gives an account of these incidents and records the day to day life of a Lancashire colliery at this time written from contemporary sources.
