History of Wigan (Help with ancient and recent history.)

Started by: peter francis (22)

I am interested in the above collieries for the period following the terrible fire damp explosions in the 1850's.
Say from 1860 -1930. I would like to know who owned the mines and who managed them, also what accidents occured during that period. I live near Southampton so its difficult for me to go to local sources
Perhaps "Art" or another member can point me in the right direction in how to find this imformation
Thanking You Peter
