Hi Mauvepink
Don't forget that song I sing of Peter Bond's - "Act of God" - about girls and boys being down the Huskar Colliery at Silkstone in 1838 and being drowned when they were told to get out when it started raining heavily. Had they stayed where they were they would have been alive today - they'd be 197 years old mind!
All the details HERE
Cheers
Mark
