Markham Colliery, Mining
Empty train wagons wait to carry the coal away at Markham Colliery near Chesterfield, Derbyshire, England. It was here, on July 31, 1973, that 18 coal miners lost their lives and a further 11 were seriously injured when a descending cage carrying the men to the pit face failed to slow down as it approached the bottom of the mine shaft
