Notes

Here is the report by the inspector of mines:
Date of accident � April 6 1908
Denby Main, Yorkshire (West Riding), Denaby and Cadeby Main Collieries Ltd
Category � Falls of roof � On roads, working or passing
Walter Bennett, 33, stone contractor.
A place was being made for an underground engine house, and as a preliminary step the shale to a thickness of 6ft 8 ins., was being removed from above the Barnsley seam, the intention being, when this had advanced far enough, to cut trenches in the coal, build the side walls in these trenches, and finally remove the block of coal.  On a Friday water was thrown on the face of the place, and on the following Monday about 16 tubs of shale had fallen.  The deceased and another man had filled 11 tubs, and were about to move a tub out of the place when a huge piece fell from the face and killed Bennett.  The place was 24ft wide by 6ft 8ins., and the stone which fell was almost as high and wide as the place, and averaged 1ft 6 ins thick.  The fall disclosed converging slips which were not visible before it occurred.
Report by Mr W H Pickering, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire District.
