Ephemera – Northumberland – coal mining disaster Full Particulars of the fearful Colliery Accident by which 204 miners were buried alive, with a copy of the Queen’s letter sympathising with the bereaved. London, W S Fortey, ‘Steam Printer & Publisher’. No date but 1862 8vo, 8pp, pages browned as per usual, woodcut illustration to front showing a winter scene [and having no bearing whatsoever on the content of the pamphlet!]. Appears complete, and with the back page devoted to the Llanerch Colliery Explosion in Wales in which 160 people were killed. Good condition. Rare. The accident happened at Hartley Pit in Northumberland and was caused by the shattering of a beam engine used to pump water from the single shaft mine. The loss of life was huge even by Victorian standards and as indicated, Queen Victoria sent a personal message to the bereaved families.
