Minor Accidents at the Collieries

August 1907

Mexborough & Swinton Times, August 17, 1907

Several minor accidents had happened in our local collieries this week, one boy had his forearm broken, while another boy had his leg fractured.

The first was a little chap named W. Hales, who was knocked down by a run of corves.

The other lad, J. Ellis, a pony-driver, who was knocked down by a train of tubs his pony was pulling, was treated by one of the ambulance men at the pit, who rendered first aid, and he was then removed to Fullerton Hospital.
