Welcome to Staffordshire Mining Disasters
- Team Leader: Fran Weidman
- Team Members: David Moss
This is the index to documented mining disasters in Staffordshire, from the seventeenth to the early twentieth centuries [1], [2]. Names are in the process of being added when identified. Note - incidents that occurred in mines but were probably not due to mining activity, such as the major RAF Fauld Hanbury incident, 1944 are not included in this list, but are listed below on this page. This is a list of incidents in which ten or more fatalities were known to occur. Note the number of disasters and fatalities seem to correlate with major conflicts, when presumably there was more pressure to achieve higher production. Note William Shepherd Allen was the local MP for Newcastle under Lyme in the same time scale of at least eight of these disasters. A good source of information on local mining hitory is [3].
