At last I have visited Mansfield Library and immediately found the report of my Grandfather, Robert Arthur Cutts' death, in the Mansfield Chronicle and Advertiser for the 3rd September 1925.  It is a full report headied 'Buried alive in the Pit - Second similar accident within a few weeks.'   There is also the report on the inquest and the verdict of accidental death.

My grandfather, Robert Arthur Cutts was killed at Langwith Colliery on 26th August 1925 - the Coroners Reports for that time no longer exist according to the Coroners Office.  Where would I find records of Langwith Colliery which closed around 1978.
