Thank you for posting this photo. My Nana's father (Aaron Heaton) was killed at this mine on 6 Sept. 1923, when scaffolding broke and he fell some 190 yards deep.

if this is 1923 it would be about that time my dad started work at 13yrs young he used to tell me he would tend or lead the pit ponies.
