    Diane Abbott has just made sure Labour will never get power, and has done Labour real harm.

    Seghill pit where i'm from, was said to be a fairly safe pit,- from the time the shafts were sank, to the time the pit closed, only about 98 had been killed, over the years.

    This often happened at Hartley Colliery before they got the pumping beam installed. Hartley Colliery being near the coast, and the best seams seaward, and a very wet pit. Water would burst in on the miners. The actual seams were much lower than this, this depiction may be near the shaft bottom.

    Yes there were some low seams. There was a seam, i think at Seaton Burn colliery, where my brother worked in the 1970's, ( he worked at a few pits ) , some lads were saying if they took their shovel in the wrong way, you couldn't turn it, you had to come out and go back in.. Thats where he had his accident. My other brother was nearly killed at Ellington Colliery, he had his face smashed in.

    I've held the personal belongings, of James Amour at Woodhorn Colliery museum. His bait-bag still containing corn they had been eating. His tin containing his minute candles, the glass plate photo of him. It was a very sad feeling.

    The Seeker It says Friday afternoon, half-past two. -- Edward Armstrong, Thomas Gledson, John Hardie, Thomas Bell and others took extremely ill. We had also a prayer meeting at a quarter to two, when Tibbs, H. Sharp, J. Campbell, H. Gibson, and William Palmer.. (The sentence is incomplete). Tibbs exhorted to us again, and Sharp also.

    Most mining families will have lost someone in the pit or had bad accidents. Both my brothers have had bad accidents down the pit,- one lucky to be alive.
