Durham Mining Museum - James Maddison (original) (raw)

Notes:

he was repairing the trap-spring of the small coal tub., the tub was standing about 1/3 the way, up the inclined plane and secured by a stay, the stay however gave way while Maddison was hammering on at the spring, the tub ran amain and carried him down the plane, and crushed him to death against the wall at the bottom (NEIMME Ref: Bud-48-14-80)
