WITH HEARTS SO LIGHT by Ian Winstanley |
|---|
A documentary account of the two events at Queen Pit that shook the village in 1868 and 1869. It was unusual in mining history that disaster should strike the same pit twice. What makes the Queen Pit Explosion unique is that they should come so close together. The book captures the mood of the village at the time from the point of view of the relatives of the victims, and the rescue operations at the pit are graphically described.
Price £4.99. p&p.
