    • He died at the Hayeswood Coal Works, Timsbury. Adjoining were old workings which had lain unused for many years and were filled with water. About 100 men descended for the day shift at about 5 a.m. Mr Evans, the overseer noticed there was an unusual appearance of damp but initially he did not become too alarmed as he thought it was only "the bleeding of the coal".
      Those who died were John Flower 55 leaving a wife and seven children, George Palmer 43 a single man, John Carter a widower with two children, Joseph Gullick three children and his wife near her confinement, Daniel Pickford a wife and two children, William Cleaves a wife and 6 children two of whom worked in the mine, James Evans wife and two children, Mark Brice, George Lewis, John Collins and William Walter. These were lads from 14 to 16 years of age. He latter of them, Walter, in a most praiseworthy manner, proceeded to a part of the mine known as the "Little Vein", gave notice of the approach of danger, and was thus the means of saving the lives of three individuals.
