History

• Senghenydd, located in the Aber Valley of South Wales, was once almost completely rural, with nothing but farms. This all changed in late 1891, when the recently-established Universal Colliery Company began digging the first coal mine shafts. Rows of terraced houses and huts for the coal miners began to appear, and soon Senghenydd had become a mining village. By 1900, the mine employed hundreds of men and boys, and was producing 6,200 tons of coal per week.
• In 1901 there was a devastating explosion Universal Colliery Disaster 1901 in which 81 people died. Following the inquest into this, the owners where asked to put in sprinklers to prevent it occurring again.
• They did not do this.
• Their failure to do this contribute to this which remains the worst mining disaster in the United Kingdom, just 12 years later.

The Accident

• Between 05.10 and 06.00 on the 14th October 1913, 950 men and boys descended the shaft to start a shift that was due to finish at 14.00 At just after 08.00 there was an explosion in the west side of the workings.
• The initial explosion ignited airborne coal dust, and a shock wave ahead of the explosion raised yet more coal dust, which also combusted. Many victims who were not killed immediately by the explosion and fire died from the effects of afterdamp.
• The force of the blast was such that it blew one of the lifts back up the lift destroying the headframe in the process decapitating the banksman John Mogridge and badly injuring his deputy.
• The explosion was heard in Cardiff 11 miles away.
• Nearly every household in Senghenydd was affected and it was estimated that about 1500 people were left without a breadwinner

The Inquest

• At the Court of Enquiry, the Chief Inspector of Mines, R.A.S. Redmayne, CB, in his report concluded "the only apparent means of ignition would be sparks from the electric signalling apparatus, or from rocks brought down by a fall.
• This contrasted with the verdict of the jury at the Coroner's Inquest who when asked by the Coroner, David Rees, "Where did the explosion originate?", they replied, "There is insufficient evidence to answer definitely, but the preponderance of evidence points to the lamp station as the probable vicinity where it originated."
• During the Enquiry several breaches of regulations were uncovered, one of the most serious of these, after the failure to install a sprinkler system, was the inability of the airfans to reverse the airflow. Legislation had been passed that all mines should implement this by January 1st 1913.
• The owners failed to do this, and it was estimated that perhaps as many as 100 lives could have been saved if this had been done.
• This all led to 17 charges being made against the Colliery Manager and four against the owners. These charges were first heard at Caerphilly Magistrates Court on the 5th May 1914. After a number of adjournments the Magistrates finally gave their decision on July 18th 1914.
• To the disbelief of the miners, their union and the Mines Inspectorate, the amount of the fines against the manager and the owners totalled £24 (twenty four Pounds).
• There was countrywide condemnation of this decision and one local newspaper's headline read "Miners lives at 1s 1¼d each", slightly less than 6p in today's money.

Senghenydd Today

• Senghenydd was originally a rural farming community, which became industrialised with the discovery of coal in the late 19th century. With the closure of the coal pits in the second half of the twentieth century, most people in the town now commute outside the Aber Valley for employment.
• Men from Senghenydd participate in one of the world's longest running epidemiology studies – The Caerphilly Heart Disease Study. Since 1979, a representative sample of adult males born between 1918 and 1938, living in Caerphilly and the surrounding villages of Abertridwr, Bedwas, Machen, Senghenydd and Trethomas, have participated in the study. A wide range of health and lifestyle data have been collected throughout the study and have been the basis of over 400 publications in the medical press. A notable report was on the reductions in vascular disease, diabetes, cognitive impairment and dementia attributable to a healthy lifestyle
