For those who have lost relatives in mining disasters. My relative still remains underground with his marras following the Roachburn Pit Disaster, 28th January 1908. My great, great, grandfather gave his life trying to save others...

Tough times. My late father worked with colleagues from the North-East of England and always enjoyed their company and their humour. Respect.

A beautiful song. My G x 3 grandfather Henry Clough / Cleugh died in this disaster along with another family member, George Johnson Thirlwell. Henry was born in Hartley and had worked in various pits around the area. The day he died was his first day back at work in his home village.

Hi Wendy. Many thanks for the comment - we are glad you found the song moving. A number of choral groups are using the song in their repertoire including The Backworth Male Voice Choir. In July this year some new stained glass windows dedicated to the Hartley disaster are being blessed at St Alban's church in Earsdon where those killed are buried. I am not exactly sure what the date is but if you check the internet I am sure there will be something there soon. Thanks again. The Sawdust Jacks.

Thanks for the comment Shiela. Such a terribly sad story about Henry Clough - to have just returned to his village on the day of the tragedy. Two new windows have been recently installed in St Alban's chruch at Earsdon in tribute to the lost miners, they are excellent and well worth a trip to see them. We hope the song is a fitting trubute. Thanks again.
